Snack company Graze has recalled a product it labelled as suitable for vegans that actually contained milk.<\/p>\n

The Food Standards Agency said the Sea Salt and Vinegar Veg Crunchers also posed a “health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk”.<\/p>\n

The affected batches have best before dates of 20 June, 28 June and 2 July 2019, the FSA added.<\/p>\n

Graze apologised for the “incorrect vegan claim” and told customers<\/a> with allergies not to eat the product. <\/p>\n

“The health and safety of our customers is of the utmost importance to us”, the company said, adding that no other products had been affected.<\/p>\n

In February, the London-based brand – which started out a decade ago as a snack box delivery service – was purchased by the conglomerate Unilever in a deal believed to be worth around \u00a3100m.<\/a><\/p>\n

Graze products are sold in shops such Sainsbury’s, Boots, WH Smith and Tesco, as well as online and direct to consumers.<\/p>\n

The BBC contacted Unilever for comment but is yet to receive a response.<\/p>\n

Late last year, the FSA said undeclared allergens were found in a quarter of food samples from UK businesses – with 673 out of 2,862 tests since 2016 described as “unsatisfactory”.<\/p>\n

And, earlier this year, stronger food labelling laws were proposed to prevent the deaths of people with allergies.<\/p>\n

It came after the death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse<\/a>, 15, of Fulham, west London, who suffered an allergic reaction to a Pret a Manger baguette in 2016.<\/p>\n

The inquest into Natasha’s death heard the teenager was “reassured” by the lack of specific allergen information on the packaging when she bought the sandwich at Heathrow Airport.<\/p>\n

But the baguette contained sesame seeds, which caused her to go into cardiac arrest on a flight.<\/p>\n

The sandwich chain later said a second customer was believed to have died<\/a> from an allergic reaction to a product containing a non-dairy yoghurt.<\/p>\n

The person died in 2017 after eating a “super-veg rainbow flatbread” which was supposed to be dairy-free.<\/p>\n

Pret said it was mis-sold a guaranteed dairy-free yoghurt, as it contained dairy protein.<\/p>\n

But the company who sold Pret the yoghurt denied that it was to blame and said the “true cause” is unknown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
