Allergen Recall: Clive’s Bombay Vegetables with Daal Tarts

Clive's Allergen Free Notification

Clive’s Bombay Vegetables with Daal Tarts

Clive’s is recalling both their chilled and frozen Clive’s Bombay Vegetables with Daal Tarts because they contain allergens which are not mentioned on the label.

Two Allergens

The two allergens in question are mustard and sesame. Not only that, but on their website (on the date of this article (16/11/2018)), the product is clearly advertised as 'Sesame Free' and 'Mustard Free' (among other Allergen Free notices - but can one really trust those now?).

By not declaring these, people with an allergy or intolerance to either mustard or sesame could have adverse side affects after eating these Tarts. In the case of an allergy, that adverse reaction could lead to a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, or anaphylactic shock, which could kill them within minutes...

Types of mustard: - Mustard seeds - Mustard Powder - Prepared Mustard - Mustard greens (sprouts)

Mustard Allergy

Mustard allergies are not that common in the UK, though more common in other European countries.
However, for those with an allergy to mustard, eating mustard could cause an allergic reaction called anaphylactic shock. Anaphylaxis can kill people within minutes if not treated quickly.

Foods containing Mustard

Mustard is used as seeds, as powder (where the seeds are ground down), as sprouts and, of course, the yellow (ranging to brown) mustard condiment most people will be more familiar with.

Mustard is used in a lot of different foods and used as an ingredient in a lot of other condiments - mayonnaisse and ketchup, barbecue sauce and salad dressings, for instance.

The 14 Allergens

There are 14 major allergens that need to be clearly highlighted on the packaging of any food that contains it. If the allergen is sold in a different way, for instance as loose foods or cooked into a meal, information on what contains any of these 14 allergens must be easily available.
