Asda has issued a product recall on a popular sauce, after it came to light that the product contains an ingredient which isn't listed on the packaging.
Food recalls are usually issued when a product is deemed unsafe to eat - and often mishaps occur across the UK where an ingredient included is not mentioned on the label.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) listed the recall on their official site, saying: "JK Foods is recalling Tiger Tiger Taste Japan Mirin because it contains soya which is not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya."

The Express reports that Tiger Tiger Taste Japan Mirin is sold at Asda stores for £1.60. However, the company has shared information on what to do if customers have already bought the product.
It said: "If you have bought Tiger Tiger Taste Japan Mirin 150ml as detailed above, and you have an allergy to Soybean, do not eat it. Instead: Check if you have bought the affected product. You can do this by taking a picture of this notice for reference at home.
"Return the product to the store for a full refund (with or without a receipt)."
The FSA stated that the product comes in a pack 150ml in size and all date codes are affected. It went on to publish a risk statement, saying: "This product contains soya making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya."
The organisation also outlined the action taken by the company. It added: "JK Foods is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
"The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product."
The FSA advised: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to soya, do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was purchased for a full refund."
