Asda is recalling one of its chicken products due to a mix up which means the ready meal actually contains beef and undeclared allergens. The supermarket is recalling its Asda Chicken Dinners because the product contains milk, egg and barley not mentioned on the label. As a result of a packaging error some of the Chicken Dinners boxes actually contain Asda Beef Dinners.
The product is therefore a risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk, egg or gluten. Monday 7 October - @asda recalls ASDA Chicken Dinners because of undeclared allergens #FoodAllergy https://t.co/f7LHEUHARp pic.
