Tesco has issued a recall for various Free From Meal Kits due to undeclared soya in the products.
The recall was announced by the Food Standards Agency (FSA). The supermarket giant is taking this action because the presence of soya is not mentioned on the product labels.
The FSA confirmed the products contained soya, making them potentially dangerous for those with this specific allergy.
According to Cleveland Clinic: “A soy allergy is a type of food allergy that occurs when your immune system mistakenly triggers a defensive response to soy. This response — or allergic reaction — can cause various symptoms, including vomiting, stomach cramps, indigestion, diarrhoea and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.”

The FSA said: “Tesco is recalling the above products from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

UK consumers have also been alerted to two separate food recalls affecting products sold in stores in the country.
Hogan’s Farm Turkey Burgers, available exclusively in Dunnes stores in Northern Ireland, are being recalled due to undeclared sulphur dioxide. This follows an ongoing recall for cereal across the UK.
The company is recalling its Farm Turkey Burgers with use-by dates of March 25, 26 and 28 2025. The 400g packs contain sulphur dioxide, which is not declared on the label.
“The product contains undeclared sulphur dioxide, making it a possible health risk for anyone with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide or sulphites,” the FSA cautioned.
