Attention, shoppers! 🚨 Waitrose is recalling packs of their 4 Richly Fruited Hot Cross Buns due to a labelling mix-up! These buns contain barley, which hasn’t been declared on the packaging and could pose a risk to those with allergies or coeliac disease.
If you’ve bought any of these with a best-before date of June 6, don’t eat them! Instead, take them back to your local Waitrose for a full refund, no receipt needed. The Food Standards Agency has issued a recall notice and Waitrose is reaching out to allergy support groups to spread the word.
Barley is one of the major allergens, as it contains gluten, and it’s used mostly in brewing and distilling. While true barley allergies are rare, millions in the UK could still be affected due to gluten intolerance or coeliac disease.
If you or someone you know might be affected by this, please share this news to help keep everybody safe. Let’s look out for each other and stay informed! 🌾💬 For any questions, reach out to Waitrose Customer Care at 0800 188 884, option 4.
Stay safe, and happy shopping! 🛒✨
