An Iceland store in Stonedale Retail Park, Croxteth(Image: Andrew Teebay/Liverpool Echo)Iceland has issued an urgent product recall for a favourite lunchbox item due to the presence of an undeclared ingredient. This week, the frozen food retailer issued a recall to customers regarding a bread item, which should be returned to store if purchased.
Sharing the message on Wednesday, May 28, Iceland said it was recalling its sub rolls because of the presence of undeclared barley, which is not mentioned on the ingredients label. This could cause a risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to gluten.
Shoppers visiting Iceland stores may spot ‘point of sale’ notices placed in shops across the UK to warn customers about the recall.
