Waitrose customers have been alerted to a health risk involving a takeaway meal bag sold by the supermarket. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a recall for the product, advising that it can be returned to any Waitrose store for a refund.The FSA stated: "Waitrose is recalling Waitrose Chinese Takeaway Bag for 2 because it contains molluscs, which are not mentioned on the label.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to molluscs."The recall affects all bags with use-by dates from September 21, 2024, to December 4, 2024.

On December 4, 2024, the FSA announced: "We are issuing this recall on December 4, 2024, which is the last use by date quoted in this recall.

This is because the product is suitable for freezing and therefore there may be products from the recall period (September 21, 2024, to December 4, 2024) in people's freezers, which will need to be recalled."Waitrose is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
