Booths recalls Aberdeen Angus Beef Meatballs because of undeclared wheat (gluten)
Why it was recalled
Booths is recalling its Aberdeen Angus Beef Meatballs after a packing error put burgers into meatball packaging, and the burgers contain wheat. Worse, the pack states the product is gluten-free, a claim that is simply wrong for the contents inside.
A false gluten-free claim is the most dangerous form of this error: coeliac shoppers actively seek out such labels and trust them completely, so the pack effectively invites the very people it will harm.

What you should do
If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
What this means for you
If anyone in your household has coeliac disease or a wheat or gluten intolerance, do not eat this product, whatever the label promises; the contents do not match it. Return the pack to the Booths store where it was bought for a full refund. If a coeliac household member has already eaten it and felt unwell, the mispack is the likely explanation. The official FSA notice carries the authoritative date codes and instructions.
