Morrisons recalls own carvery cooked ham
Morrisons is recalling its own-brand Carvery Cooked Ham because of incorrect allergy labelling. The product may contain mustard, which is not mentioned on the product label. This means the ham should not be eaten by anyone with an allergy or intolerance to mustard. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
Product details
The product being recalled is:
- Morrisons Carvery Cooked Ham, 250g
- Use by 13 March 2012
The company is recalling the affected product from sale. Customer notices have been displayed in stores to alert consumers to the reasons for the recall and that they can return the product to their nearest store for a full refund. In addition, the company has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations who will inform their members who are allergic to of intolerant of mustard about the recall.
No other Morrisons products are known to be affected.
Allergy alerts
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy Alerts are issued. Click on 'Get alerts' in the box at the bottom of this page to find more details.
