英国Sainsbury's公司下架草莓(Strawberry Pencils)产品

    食品伙伴网导读：2009年4月28日，英国Sainsbury's公司召回其自有品牌的草莓(Strawberry Pencils)产品，原因是其中含有未标识的过敏源—小麦麸质。

   原文报道：

Sainsbury's has withdrawn its Strawberry Pencils (75g), because the product contains wheat gluten but a 'suitable for coeliacs' label appears on the product packaging. Coeliacs are people with coeliac disease and are sensitive to gluten. This product might be a health risk for people who are allergic to or intolerant of wheat gluten.

The Agency has issued an Allergy alert advising anyone with an allergy of or intolerance to wheat gluten not to eat this product.

The product being withdraw is:

The product has been distributed throughout Sainsbury’s supermarkets within the UK. Sainsbury’s supermarkets have withdrawn all date codes of this product. Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in Sainsbury’s stores to tell consumers. In addition, the company will contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their members of the withdrawal. If you have bought this product you can return it to the store’s customer service desk for a full refund.

No other Sainsbury’s products are known to be affected.

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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.

In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy alert. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy alerts are issued. Click on 'Get alerts' in the box at the bottom of this page to find more details.
