Allergy Alert: Sainsbury Chicken Recalled In UK

December 5, 2008

The Sainsbury supermarket chain has recalled its own brand of cooked "wafer-thin" chicken, due to the possible presence of traces of undeclared milk in the product, according to the UK Food Standards Agency.

The recall covers all 70-gram packages of Sainsbury's Wafer thin chicken slices labeled with date codes up to and including 22 December.

While most people can consume this product safely, individuals who are allergic to milk protein may suffer a severe reaction after eating the chicken. Sainsbury asks that consumers return the recalled product to the supermarket customer service desk for a refund.
