Customers can return the product to any Asda store for a full refund

Asda has issued a recall for its Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices due to undeclared allergens that could pose a serious "health risk".

The supermarket chain announced that some packages may contain milk and sulphites, which are not listed on the product label.


The Food Standards Agency (FSA) alerted Britons to the recall. It said: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites, do not eat it."

The recall comes after it was discovered that some packs of the pork belly slices actually contain Asda Simple To Cook Tomato & Mozzarella Pork Meatballs instead.

The major supermarket added: "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused."

In other recall news, shoppers have been urged to stop using Tower 2 Litre Air Fryers sold in TK Maxx and Homesense stores between November 2024 and April 2025.

The product has been identified with a manufacturing defect that could cause dangerous overheating.

TK Maxx warned that under certain circumstances, this fault could pose a significant "fire risk" in homes across the UK.
