Cofresh has recalled a batch of its Eat Real Lentil Chips Creamy Dill Flavour because the presence of wheat (gluten) is not mentioned on the label.

Product name: Eat Real Lentil Chips Creamy Dill Flavour
Pack size: 40g
Batch code: L6188
'Best before' end: July 2015

The product contains gluten at a level above the permitted legal limit for labelling gluten-free and should therefore not be eaten by anyone with coeliac disease or an allergy to wheat or gluten. If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where you bought it for a full refund.

No other Cofresh products are affected.

Action taken

The company has issued a product recall from its customers and point of sale notices are displayed in stores where the affected product was sold. As this product has a licence to use the Crossed Grain symbol we are extremely concerned by this recall. We are urgently investigating how this product has become contaminated. We are in discussions with the company to review their processes to ensure that all of their products comply with the legal requirements for gluten-free labelling and meet the strict standards in place to continue using the Crossed Grain symbol.
