Shoppers warned do not eat recalled HECK Minted Lamb Burgers
HECK is recalling its two pack of Minted Lamb Burgers because some packs could contain milk, which is not included on the label.
Therefore, the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
The recall notice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) adds that some products were incorrectly packed with HECK Steak and Butter Burgers which contain milk.
HECK recalls burgers due to incorrect labelling
The affected product is the HECK 320g two pack of Minted Lamb Burgers with a use-by date of April 3, 2026.
If you have bought the affected product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, the FSA warns “do not eat it.”
Instead, you can return it to the store you bought it from for a full refund, even if you don’t have the receipt.
What is an FSA allergy alert?
For those who are not aware of FSA allergy alerts, the government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food explains what they are.
It says: “Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold.
“Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
Recommended reading:
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
