Marks & Spencer recalls own-brand 3 Bean & Spinach Salad with Chive Dressing due to incorrect labelling information

Thursday 20 April 2006

Food Alert: for Information

Ref: 22/2006

Marks & Spencer has recalled all batches of its own-brand 3 Bean & Spinach Salad with Chive Dressing, 130g due to incorrect labelling information.

The product contains edamame beans, which are a type of soya bean. However, the presence of soya is not clearly indicated and not specified as an allergy warning. This makes this product unsafe for individuals who are allergic to soya.

In addition, Marks & Spencer has been in contact with the Anaphylaxis Campaign and Allergy UK who will inform all their soya allergic members of the recall via a mailshot.

The product recalled is;
