Asda has issued a 'do not eat' warning for one of its popular side dishes over fears it could cause food poisoning.

It has recalled its own brand 10 Mini Duck Spring Rolls with Hoisin Dip because they have been labelled with an incorrect use by date. 

The affected 220g packs with the use by date December 29, should have been packaged with the use by date November 29.

According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) who issued the alert, this 'makes them unsafe to consume after the correct use by date'.

The FSA, issues recalls if there is a risk to consumers because the required allergy label is missing or incorrect, or if there is any other food allergy risk, meaning that a food product should not be sold. 

In its alert, it says: 'If you have bought the product do not consume it. Instead, please return it to your nearest store. You do not need a receipt.'

There will be point of sale notices in all retail stores selling the products, informing them why the product is being recalled and what to do if they have purchased it.

For more information customers are advised to contact Asda Customer Relations on 0800 952 0101.

On its website, the FSA says: ‘Some foods deteriorate over time in a way that may present a food safety risk.

‘On most packaged food, depending on the product you will either see a use by date – relating to food safety – or a best before date – relating to food quality.

‘Never eat food after the use by date, even if it looks and smells okay, as it could make you very ill.

‘You can eat food until midnight on the use by date shown on a product but not after, unless the food has been cooked or frozen.’ But this is when it is labelled correctly.

It continues: ‘You will see use-by dates on food that goes off quickly, such as meat products or ready-to-eat salads.

‘For the use by date to be a valid guide, you must carefully follow the food’s storage instructions.

‘For example, if the instructions on the food packaging tell you to refrigerate after opening, you should keep the food in the fridge at 5°C or below.’

The fresh recall comes just days after another supermarket, Tesco, recalled one of their salad products over fears it could trigger potentially deadly allergic reactions.

The affected product was their Celery, Fruit and Nut Salad with the pack size 300g and use by date December 2, 2025.

It was being recalled because it was found to contain mustard which is not mentioned on the label.

According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA): 'This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard.'

If someone with an allergy to mustard consumes it, they can suffer a range of symptoms from mild to severe.

In mild to moderate cases it can cause a hives, swelling of the fae, lips or eyes, tingling or itching of the mouth, mild throat tightness, stomach pain, vomiting or diarrhoea.

But in severe cases, it can trigger a serious reaction known as anaphylaxis which can be life-threatening.

Customers with an allergy to mustard were advised to not eat it and to return it to any Tesco store for a full refund.

In a statement, Tesco said: 'We are recalling a specific date code of Tesco Celery and Nut Salad 300g, due to the presence of mustard in the mayonnaise element of the product.

'Mustard was not mentioned on the product label, which may pose a health risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to mustard.

'No other Tesco products are affected by this recall. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.'
