Asda Stores Ltd withdraws a batch of ASDA Extra Special Chocolate Coated Nut Selection due to the undeclared presence of barley gluten in the product

The UK FSA has issued an allergy alert to confirm that Asda is recalling its Extra Special Chocolate Coated Nut Selection because the product contains barley gluten that is not declared on the label. The product is, therefore, a potential health risk for individuals with an allergy or intolerance to barley gluten. The product details are as follows:

Product identification: ASDA Extra Special Chocolate Coated Nut Selection 215g bag
Best before date: End April 2010
Batch codes: BBE April 2010

Asda Stores Ltd has withdrawn the affected batch from sale. Notices will be displayed in food stores to alert consumers to the reasons for the withdrawal, and the actions they can take if they have purchased the product. In addition, Asda has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, who will inform their at-risk members of the withdrawal. No other Asda Stores Ltd products are known to be affected.
