Iceland urgently recalls popular bakery item as shoppers warned 'do not eat'
The supermarket has recalled the bakery item as a "precautionary measure."
Iceland shoppers have been warned not to eat a popular bakery item. The frozen foods giant has issued a recall for its Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls due to an undeclared ingredient.
A recent allergy alert posted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) explains that the supermarket's bread item was found to contain barley, an ingredient not mentioned on the list of ingredients.
Allergy alerts are generally posted by the FSA when a problem with a food product has been discovered, meaning it could potentially pose a health risk to consumers due to missing or incorrect allergy labelling and other food allergy concerns.
In its recall notice, Iceland added that its move was a "precautionary measure" as the rolls pose a potential health risk to anyone who suffers from an allergy or intolerance to barley (gluten.)
The FSA advises that the recall affects a pack of four rolls that feature the best before date of June 2, 2025. Iceland further added no other best before dates have been affected.
Shoppers have since been urged not to eat the bakery item but to instead return it to any Iceland store where a full refund will be provided, even without a receipt.
Iceland's full recall notice read: "We are taking the precautionary measure of recalling the date code of the above product as it may contain undeclared barley and therefore poses a potential risk to people with an allergy or intolerance to barley.
"Only the best before date in this notice is affected."
Iceland has since issued point of sale notices to its retail stores that sold the Daily Bakery Sub Rolls, which can still be found online for £1.50.

These notices explain to customers why the product has been recalled and what to do if they have bought the affected item.
In other recall news, we recently reported that Grape Tree's Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts were found to potentially be contaminated with bacteria.
The recall concerned the health shop's 250g pack sizes, alongside the batch code G41 5 101 250610 and best before date July 11, 2026.
While most STEC organisms are said to be harmless, they can sometimes cause severe diarrhoea (including bloody diarrhoea) and abdominal pain. In severe cases, it could lead to haemolytic uremic syndrome, (HUS), a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.
It's not just food items that have been recalled lately, as a popular air fryer that was sold at both Wilko and The Range has been pulled from shelves following fears that it poses a serious fire risk.
The Haden Air Fryer was pulled after the Office for Product and Safety Standards (OPSS) concluded that the kitchen gadget's maximum temperature could melt or warp the product's plastic, or could catch fire.
Shoppers have since been urged not to use the kitchen item, which was also failed to adhere to the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
