FSAI alerts this week
BWG Foods is recalling a batch of their O’Dwyer’s Bakery 9 Fruit Buns due to a labelling error. The back of pack labels are missing from the implicated batch. This means that the product is missing information such as ingredients, allergens, nutritional and storage instructions. The implicated batch was sold in some Spar, Eurospar, Londis, Mace and XL stores.
