Anyone who has bought it has been given advice
A major supermarket is urgently recalling a dinner staple. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced that Sainsbury’s is withdrawing its JS Free From Breaded Mini Fillets due to the presence of milk.
The agency said: “This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
The affected items are JS Free From Breaded Mini Fillets in 305g packs, with use-by dates of November 15, 16, 17 and 20, 2025.
According to the FSA: “Sainsbury’s is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For further information, visit Sainsbury’s website at Sainsburys.co.uk/help or Sainsbury’s careline on 0800 028 8303.”
Allergy alerts explained
The FSA clarified: “Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
