Hazard · 656 alerts
An allergen (such as milk, egg, gluten, nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame, mustard or crustaceans) is present but not declared on the label, or is declared incorrectly.
For people with a food allergy, even a small amount can trigger a reaction — from hives and swelling to anaphylaxis, which is life-threatening.
If you are allergic to the undeclared ingredient, do not eat the product. Other consumers are not at risk from the allergen itself.
General information only — not medical advice. If you have worrying symptoms, contact a doctor or call 112.
