Suppliers are recalling a tomato sauce product following the discovery of allergens that could pose a health risk to certain customers.
Shoppers who have bought the affected product are advised not to eat them and to return them to a store for a full refund.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “Dunne Stores is recalling Italian Tomato and Basil Sauce because it contains milk which is not mentioned on the label.
“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.

The product recall concerns the following batches:

The FSA's risk state reads: “This product contains milk mak, making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
What is an allergy alert?
It is imperative that Britons take food recalls seriously, as eating unsafe foods can present a real health risk.
According to the FSA, sometimes there will be a problem with a food product which means it should not be sold.
“Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product)," adds the FSA.
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”

It comes as nuts sold in England, Northern Ireland and Wales have been recalled because they are “unsafe to eat”.
Customers have been urged not to eat the affected batches of Buram Cerezli Nuts in Syrup 420g (Best before all date codes) due to the risk of illness.
The product was previously recalled by Leo’s Import Export and Trading Ltd but now all date codes, and snacks sold in more parts of the UK, pose a risk.
This is because they may have been contaminated, causing a risk for anyone who consumes the products.
