Greggs urgent three word steak bake warning amid recall and health fears
Share:
Greggs has been forced to pull its Steak Bake from the shelves due to potential health hazards. The popular high street bakery chain has confirmed that its frozen Steak Bakes - available in Iceland stores - contain undeclared sulphites. This makes the product a potential health risk for anyone sensitive to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites. The recall was initiated because some of the two-pack Steak Bakes contained Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melts, which include sulphites. Sulphites can trigger allergy-like symptoms in individuals with underlying asthma and allergic rhinitis. Consumption can lead to wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing.
In rare cases, according to Allergy UK, severe reactions can even lead to anaphylaxis. The affected pack size is 280g with a best before date of May 19, 2025. Greggs has assured that no other products or batches of steak bakes are impacted. The product is sold exclusively at Iceland.
If you've purchased this item, Greggs advises you should not eat it. Instead, return the product to your nearest Iceland store for a full refund - no receipt necessary. In a statement, Greggs expressed: "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.".
The Food Standards Agency said: "Greggs is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
