Vegetarian World recalls soups over undeclared allergens

The UK FSA reports that Vegetarian World has recalled certain date codes of Hebrew National Continental Barley Soup, Hebrew National Continental Lentil Soup and Hebrew National Beans in Tomato due to incorrect allergen labelling. The products are:

Hebrew National Continental Barley Soup (undeclared celery)
Best before: all dates up to and including Aug 2010
400g can
Hebrew National Continental Lentil Soup (undeclared soya and celery)
Best before: all dates up to and including 2010
400g can
Hebrew National Beans in Tomato (undeclared mustard and celery)
Best Before: all dates up to and including Dec 2010

No other Hebrew branded products are known to be affected.

Certain date codes of the above products may contain celery, soya and mustard, which are not declared on the label. This makes the products a potential health risk for people who are allergic to these allergens.
