Baxters Sliced Gherkins Crunchy and Sweet has been pulled from shelves because some packs contain mustard which is not mentioned on the label
A popular sandwich staple that is sold in UK supermarkets has been recalled.
Baxters Sliced Gherkins Crunchy and Sweet has been pulled from shelves because some packs contain mustard which is not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard.
The batch codes that are included in the recall are: 2400059, 2400060, 2400061, 2400062 and 2400063. These batch codes have best before dates of either June 2026 or July 2026. No other batch codes are included in the recall. Baxter’s Sliced Gherkins Crunchy and Sweet is sold in Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco for around £2.50 for a 540G jar.
If you have purchased one of the jars that are included in the recall and you’re allergic to mustard, you should return it to the store you bought it from for a full refund. You can also contact Baxters for a refund on 0800 389 8389 or by emailing [email protected].
For all product recalls, you can check theFood Standards AgencyandChartered Trading StandardsInstitute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they’ve pulled a product from shelves. We recently reported on how Birds Eye recalled packs of Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Garlic Bread over fears it could spark an allergic reaction.
Marks and Spencer also pulled some chicken products over fears they could be contaminated with salmonella. The recall notice only applies to Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland stores, and relates to M&S Southern Fried Chicken Burgers and 2x Chicken Kievs.
Cheeses that are sold in Tesco Republic of Ireland stores and Spar have also been recalled over fears they could be contaminated with listeria. The warning has been issued for 18 cheeses that are produced by JOD Food Products because they “may contain” the bacteria. Symptoms of listeria poisoning include a high temperature, aches and pains, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
Listeriosis can sometimes lead to serious and life-threatening problems such as sepsis or meningitis in babies and people with a weakened immune system. If you’ve purchased one of these cheeses, you should return them to the store you bought it from for a full refund.
