MARKS and Spencer has urgently recalled one of its vegan sandwiches over fears it could trigger killer allergic reactions.<\/p>\n
Some batches of the Plant Kitchen No Chicken and Chorizo Sandwich contain egg, which is not listed on the label. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or an intolerance to egg," the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said. <\/p>\n
Officials issued the "do not eat" warning to anyone who has purchased the meal deal favourite, with a 'use by' date of September 6. <\/p>\n
Customers should return it to their nearest M&S store for a full refund, they added. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the retail giant said: "Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks and Spencer and we take all issues regarding the production of our foods extremely seriously.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"We are recalling the Plant Kitchen No Chicken & Chorizo Sandwich due to the undeclared presence of egg.<\/p>\n
"Please do not consume this product if you have an allergy or intolerance to egg.<\/p>\n
"We apologise to our customers for the inconvenience caused." <\/p>\n
Around two million people in the UK are thought to live with a food allergy. <\/p>\n
