Asda product recall 2023: List of products, outlets, and all you need to know

Two popular supermarket chains, Asda and Tesco, are recalling Gosh! Sweet Potato Pakora and Falafel products over undeclared gluten allergen concerns. When consumed by people with gluten sensitivity and allergies, the recalled products could cause severe to life-threatening allergic reactions.

On May 14, 2023, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) alerted consumers nationwide that various Gosh! Food Ltd items posed a danger to some people with coeliac disease, gluten-related allergies, and those with intolerance. Moreover, it is feared that the products distributed in the market do not declare the presence of gluten on the package.

While several pakora and falafel products are being recalled from across the country, neither the FSA nor the establishment has confirmed reports of any incidents or fatalities regarding consumption of the recalled products. When consumed by people with allergies or intolerance, food contaminated with gluten may cause symptoms like tingling in the mouth, dizziness, abdominal pain, light-headedness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fainting.

People with high sensitivity towards allergens could also be at risk of experiencing life-threatening symptoms such as anaphylaxis attacks, which require immediate medical attention. In addition, customers experiencing any of these symptoms after consuming the recalled product are advised to consult a doctor or visit a medical care center at the earliest.
