Young’s fish at UK supermarkets recalled – ‘do not eat’

A “do not eat” warning has also been issued for Young’s Gastro 2 Lemon & Pepper Fish Fillets following an allergy alert.

The product has been recalled by Young’s Seafood because it contains mustard which is not mentioned on the label.

This means the fish fillets are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.

The batches of Young’s Gastro 2 Lemon & Pepper Fish Fillets included in this new product recall are:

• Pack size – 270g
• Batch code – F2 L5283
• Best before – End of October 2026

Young’s Seafood said in a statement to customers: “Young’s Seafood is recalling packs of its Young’s Gastro 2 Lemon & Pepper Fish Fillets as the product has been manufactured using an ingredient containing mustard, which is not declared on the label.

“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy, intolerance or sensitivity to mustard.

What are FSA allergy alerts and product recalls?

The FSA explained: “Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold.

Recommended reading:

“Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).

“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.”
