Food recall: Co-op recalls Salmon En Croute over prawn allergy risk
Supermarket chain Co-op has issued an urgent recall of selected batches of its Salmon En Croute product, as they contain prawns that were not disclosed on the packaging.
Although this does not pose a risk to everyone, if you have an allergy to crustaceans the risk is very high and potentially life-threatening.
Read on for the details on affected batches of Co-op's Salmon En Croute and what to do if you've bought them.
