What have Waitrose recalled?

Waitrose & Partners are recalling Waitrose & Partners Chicken Satay with Sweet Chilli Sauce.

This is because an incorrect dip has been packed in the product resulting in fish and peanuts not being mentioned on the label.

It means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to fish and/or peanuts.

• Pack size: 85g
• Use by: August 17, 2020
