Marks and Spencer has recalled one of its curry ready meals because of concerns that it might be dangerous to allergy sufferers after a labelling mix-up.
The affected product is one batch of M&S Count on Us Thai style green chicken Curry, which have been removed because some packs contain crustaceans and molluscs which are not mentioned on the label. The curry is a risk to anyone with an allergy to crustaceans and/or molluscs.
The Food Standards Agency is advising anyone who is allergic and has bought the curry should not eat it and return it to any M&S store for a full refund.

The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers, which explains why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought the product.

Products can be recalled for lots of different reasons - for example, possible contamination, misleading or incorrect labels or, as in this case, allergens.
If you've bought a product that's been recalled, you have the right to a refund thanks to the Consumer Rights Act. The retailer that sold it should offer you a full refund, even if it's been in your cupboard or freezer for a while. Even if you've already consumed the product or thrown it away, you are still entitled to a refund if you can provide proof of purchase such as a receipt, bank statement, or online order confirmation.
