A routine safety notice has been issued across the UK following the discovery that mustard, a common allergen, was present in Young\u2019s Gastro 2 Lemon & Pepper Fish Fillets without being listed on the label. Sold in supermarkets including Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury\u2019s, the affected product poses a potential health risk to consumers with an allergy or sensitivity to mustard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recall is limited to specific batches of the 270g product, with the batch code F2 L5283 and a best-before date marked for the end of October 2026. This measure comes as part of a broader alert from the Food Standards Agency, which urges customers with mustard allergies to avoid consuming the product altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue centres on an undeclared allergen that could have serious consequences for allergy sufferers. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA<\/a>), the fillets were \u201cmanufactured using an ingredient containing mustard, which is not declared on the label<\/em>\u201d. While mustard is not harmful to most people, it can trigger adverse reactions in those with specific food allergies, making accurate labelling a legal and safety necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the official response, the FSA <\/strong>published an Allergy Alert on Friday, 19 December, notifying the public of the issue. The agency advised: \u201cIf you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return the product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund<\/em>.\u201d Customers are also encouraged to contact Young\u2019s Seafood via their consumer care email for further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Young\u2019s Seafood released a statement <\/strong>acknowledging the oversight and confirming that \u201cthe safety and quality of our products is very important to us, and we take all issues regarding the production of our food extremely seriously<\/em>\u201d. The company also reassured consumers that no other Young\u2019s Seafood products are affected by this recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
