Why it was recalled

The FSA's risk statement:

Milk and Mustard

These products contain milk and mustard making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and / or an allergy to mustard.

Details from the notice

Quorn Food is recalling three variants of its Quorn Bites products (Sweet Chilli, Korma, and Garlic & Herb) because they contain mustard and milk which are not mentioned on the label. As a result of a packaging error some packs have been packaged incorrectly across the three variants. This means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and / or an allergy to mustard.

An Allergy Alert is issued when an allergen is missing from the label or labelled wrongly.
