Morrisons has recalled a batch of its Celery, Fruit and Peanut Salad with a 'use by' date of 27 October 2012.

Morrisons has recalled a batch of its Celery, Fruit and Peanut Salad with a ‘use by’ date of 27 October 2012.

A packaging error has included pesto pasta in the salad, which means the salad contains wheat and gluten. However, this is not mentioned on the label and could pose a potential health risk to anyone who is allergic to or intolerant of wheat and gluten.

The withdrawn product is:

Morrisons Celery, Fruit and Peanut Salad, 250g

‘Use by’ date: 27 October 2012

Morrisons has withdrawn this product because it has been incorrectly packaged with pesto pasta, which contains wheat and gluten. This is not declared on the packaging of the product, posing a potential health risk for people who are allergic to or intolerant of wheat and gluten.

The company is recalling the affected batch from sale and customer notices will be displayed in stores to let consumers know why the product is being withdrawn and that they can return it to the store for a full refund.
