Urgent recall for popular sandwich and burger ingredient over allergy fears
Food safety watchdogs has placed a ' do not eat ' warning on Baxter's Sliced Gherkins Crunchy & Sweet, sold in supermarkets such as Tesco for £2.50.
It is feared the sandwich and burger accompaniment contains undeclared mustard, which could pose a danger to those with an allergy to the spice.
Baxter's Food Group, which manufactures the product, said the recall only affects certain jars with specific best before dates. These include June 2026 and July 2026.
Mustard allergy sufferers can experience symptoms such as stomach pain, swollen lips, vomiting or rashes if they accidentally eat a product containing it.
A Baxters spokesperson said: 'If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to mustard, do not eat it.
'Instead dispose of the product and contact the customer care team on 0800 389 8389 and CCUK@baxters.com for a replacement.'
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) added: 'Baxter's Food Group is recalling Baxter's Sliced Gherkins Crunchy & Sweet because they contain mustard which is not mentioned on the label.
'This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard.'
In February, supermarkets selling a range of Irish blended cheeses issued an urgent recall over fears batches could be contaminated with the potentially killer bacteria listeria.
Shoppers who bought Horgans Irish Smoked Cheddar, Claddagh Bo Irish cheese and many variants of Old Irish cheddar were urged to return the products.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) warned that symptoms caused by listeria could be similar to flu and include a high temperature, muscle aches and diarrhoea.
Symptoms of listeria poisoning can start quickly, within a few hours or days after eating contaminated food. However, in some cases they can take up to three months to show.
Those most vulnerable to getting sick include the very young, people older than 65 and those with weakened immune systems or who are pregnant.
