Why it was recalled

The FSA's risk statement:

Oats (that are gluten free)

These products contain oats (that are gluten free) making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to oats.

Details from the notice

Worthenshaws Ltd is recalling Kirsty’s Classic Beef Lasagne because it contains a statement on the label that the product is free from all 14 allergens, which is not accurate as the product contains oats (that are gluten free). Oats is also not emphasised on the label. This means the product is suitable for someone following a gluten free diet, however, it is not suitable for those who have an allergy to Oats.

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

What the business is doing

Worthenshaws Ltd is recalling the above products from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.
