Product Recall

Back to all blogs.

Asda and Sainsburys have recalled a selection of their gluten free products due to the presence of gluten in them, please make sure you have none of the products below.

Product Recall

Today there have been a few product recalls, it started with Asda but we have also been informed that Sainsburys have also recalled 6 of its products, 3 of which are the same as in Asda's range. From this is it evident that both Asda and Sainsburys use the same manufacturer for at least some of their gluten free range, whether the recall is going to extend to Morrisons and Tesco we don't know but no doubt we will find out in due course.

The products have been recalled due to the production site using the incorrect flour batch leading to a warning stating that the recalled products could contain the gluten.

As it stands these are the current product recalls from Asda and Sainsburys, if you have any of the following products with the date/batch code listed please return it to the respective store where you will be given a full refund. If you have already eaten the product we don't suggest regurgitating it so you can return it, instead we suggest Buscopan, peppermint tea and maybe an email of complaint to the store.

Asda have followed up with an apology of "we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and will ensure it doesn't happen again" along with Sainsburys meagre "we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause", I am sure both these apologies help anyone who has already eating the products (please note the use of sarcasm).

We will update this blog if we hear of any more products which have been recalled due to the same issue.

Edit: 9pm GMT 5th June 2015 Genuis and Livwell have also recalled products for the same issue, if you have any of the items which we have listed in the table above, return to the shop bought from for a full refund

Edit: 11pm GMT 5th June, Tesco and Waitrose have also recalled products

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but just been into my local Sainsbury's and although half the free from shelves are empty due to the product recall, all the other goods have had the prices put up - really not impressed; surely as a sign of good-will they should have put the prices down?!

Thanks for posting this. unfortunately I've only just come across the full list is yours :-/ even though CUK are emailing out theirs isn't as extensive :( what I'm most about is the poor communication surrounding this AND that it's supposed to be a dedicated gluten free site so why was gluten even there??? They are going to have to do a LOT of hard work to try and restore customers confidence and persuade them to buy things they thought they could trust as being safe :(

I don't believe this is isolated incident. I feel gluttoned more times in past whilst eating gluten free diet. I have put my trust in these companies to protect me...I pay a higher price for that protection expecting proper gluten free facilities. I am especially disgusted by genius who should have such facilities as we should be their only market. I am weary as I was able to buy a glut of products just before the recall at reduced prices with dates just before the recall dates...I am now concerned about these as shops seemed eager to clear. It seems there is no one to trust when it comes to profit!

I have spoken to genius who were extremely apologetic and assured me they were taking this very seriously. I said I know I won't die but it is four days of feeling awful then a period of time for my body to recover, all of which puts strain on the body system. The lady was very understanding. My big concern now though is can we have confidence in them in the future? I worry to about the flour and bread I get on prescription, are they going to appear on this list in a weeks time???

Yes, it is an offence to sell 'gluten free' food labelled as such to coeliacs if it contains gluten. <br/>Citizens Advice can tell you how to make an official complaint if you are a diagnosed coeliac and you have eaten any of the contaminated foods and had bad symptoms afterwards.
