What's happening?
Hundreds of Marks & Spencer stores are in the midst of a food health scare due to mushroom pies.
Why the recall?
The chain is urgently recalling its £2.75 Plant Kitchen pastries because they contain soya, a potentially life-threatening ingredient that was not listed on the label.
What's the risk?
For individuals with a soya allergy, consuming the product could lead to anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that can be fatal within minutes.
What to do if you bought it?
If you purchased a 200g pie with a use-by date of April 12, 16, 18, or 22 and have a soya allergy, the Government's Food Standards Agency advises against consuming it and recommends returning it to the store for a refund.
Response from M&S
Marks & Spencer has issued an apology and emphasized its commitment to prioritizing customer safety.
