'Do not eat' warning in place for Waitrose shoppers as supermarket issues recall
The Food Standards Agency said the affected five-pack doughnuts may cause allergic reactions and told customers to return them for a full refund.
On Tuesday, Waitrose & Partners recalled doughnut packs across England, Scotland, and Wales after discovering undeclared soya in the products, posing a health risk to consumers with allergies.
The Food Standards Agency issued the warning due to a packaging error that failed to declare soya as an ingredient, creating a possible health risk for anyone with a soya allergy.
Recalled items include Waitrose & Partners Sweet, Fluffy, Golden Ring Doughnuts 5's and Waitrose & Partners Jammy, Messy, Squidgy Doughnuts 5's, sold in packs of five with best-before dates of November 10 and 11.
Shoppers with soya allergies should not eat these products and must return them to the store for a full refund or contact Waitrose Customer Care on 0800 188 884, option 4.
Waitrose has contacted relevant allergy support organisations, which will notify their members about the recall and explain why the products are being withdrawn from retail shelves.
