The supermarket Iceland has recalled a pack of bread rolls after found to possibly contain an ingredient not labelled, putting those with allergies at risk.
Iceland’s Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls were found it may contain barley despite not being mentioned on the label.
It was urgently recalled as this poses a risk to those with an allergy or intolerance to barley (gluten).
Customers are urged to not eat the rolls, and return them to any Iceland retail store for a refund.
In the recall alert, Iceland said: ‘Iceland Foods Ltd is recalling Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls because it may contain undeclared barley which is not mentioned on the label.
‘This poses a potential risk to people that have an allergy or intolerance to barley (gluten).’
The relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall, have been contacted, say Iceland.
Barley is one of the three main grains that naturally contain gluten, along with wheat and rye.

In the UK, coeliac disease affects at least one in every hundred people, but as it is often misdiagnosed the real number may be higher.
Those with coeliac disease must avoid gluten as their immune systems react to it in a way that damages the small intestine.
This latest urgent recall comes shortly after another major supermarket issued an alert for two products.
Asda recently recalled two clothing products for young children due to safety concerns about sharp edges.
Their George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers (all sizes up to 24 months) were found to have zips with sharp edges that could lead to injury.
Customers are urged to stop using the product and return them to the nearest store for a full refund.
In the recall alert, Asda said: ‘George Baby 3PK Zip Rompers (all sizes up to 24 months) has been identified with a manufacturing issue.
‘Some of the zips may contain sharp edges, which poses a risk of injury. This issue affects ALL sizes.’

The recall alert for the three-piece baby romper set was issued fays after a recall for the supermarket’s George Stitch and Angel two-piece for sizes one year up to eight years.
It was found the cord length on some garments may be too long and pose a risk of injury, but the top in the two-piece set is unaffected.
If you purchased the product you are advised to return them to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund, no receipt needed.
In the recall alert, Asda said: ‘The George Stitch and Angel 2-piece set has been identified with a manufacturing issue on the cord length which on some garments may be too long and could pose a risk of injury.

Last week, a popular snack sold at Grape Tree was urgently recalled over fears it may be contaminated with a deadly bacteria linked to colon cancer.
The health food store stuck a ‘do not eat’ alert on batches of its raw unsalted macadamia nuts.

It was feared the sweet snack may contain traces of a rare strain of the diarrhoea-causing bug E.coli.
Known as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), the pathogen typically also causes a fever. In the majority of cases, symptoms fade naturally within days.
However, for vulnerable populations, the infection can get into the blood and travel to the organs, causing catastrophic damage.
Grape Tree said the recall only affected its 250g pack of the nuts, which have a best before date of July 11, 2026 and the batch code G41 5 101 250610.
