Costa 'health risk' warning as customers urged to claim refunds

Costa customers are being warned over sandwiches that have now been pulled from its fridges.

The beverage and food retailer is popular with many people, with thousands of stores in the UK. However, diners are now being urged to return certain items for a full refund.

When a product is recalled, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) shares details on what you should do if you have bought the item, as well as detailed information on why the product is being pulled from shelves.

An alert from the FSA on Tuesday said: "Costa Coffee is recalling Costa Coffee British Roast Chicken Salad Sandwich because it contains mustard which is not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to mustard."

The FSA also said Costa 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.

A recall notice has also been put up in stores, part of which reads: "Any customers in possession of this product who have a mustard allergy or intolerance, or who wish to exchange the product, can return it to their nearest store where a full refund will be given. No other Costa products are affected. We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused. For more information contact 0333 003 5883"

Affected products have a use-by date of up to and including September 16, 2022.
