The Bakewell Bakery recalls Shallow Brandy Mince Pies because of undeclared milk
Why it was recalled
The Bakewell Bakery is recalling its Shallow Brandy Mince Pies because they contain milk that is not mentioned on the label. Festive baking is full of butter and dairy, but the law still requires milk to be declared, and shoppers avoiding dairy rely on that.
Mince pies are bought in volume and shared freely over the holidays, which widens the circle of people who might eat one without ever seeing the label.
Allergens involved: Milk
