A sauce sold at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Ocado has been recalled due to ingredients not being declared on the label.
Capsicana is recalling its Easy Going Mild Salsa because it contains “unlabelled allergens” - barley (gluten) and mustard.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the salsa is “a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard and/or allergy or intolerance to barley or gluten, or with coeliac disease.”
The affected product is a 285g jar with a best before date of May 2027 and a 6091 batch code.

Capsicana assured customers that none of its other products are affected by this recall, and it said the affected product has been traced to Co-op only, rather than its other supermarket stockists.
If you have bought this product and have an allergy or intolerance to mustard, barley or gluten or if you have coeliac disease, the FSA says “do not eat it”.
Customers who have bought the salsa can return it to the store where they got it from for a full refund, even if they don’t have their receipt.

What is a food recall?
The FSA explains what a food recall is: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).

“The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
“In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
“This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.”
