Popular baby food recalled over fears it could trigger health issue

Popular baby food brand Ella's Kitchen has recalled one of its products over safety concerns.

The manufacturer has warned a batch of its Banana Multigrain Baby Rice contains undeclared oats.

This is a potential health risk for tots with coeliac disease, an allergy or intolerance to oats or gluten.

The oats also makes the baby food thicket in texture than it should be for a baby aged four months and over.

Parents are being urged to look out for the affected 125g packets which have a batch code of 27922 with a best before date of October 6, 2023.

Ella's Kitchen said in its point of sale notice: "If you have bought Ella's Kitchen Banana Multigrain Baby Rice as detailed above, do not feed this to your little one."

Instead it advised people to check if they had bought the affected batch code of the product and if it was one then they should return the product to the store for a full refund, regardless of whether they have a receipt.

The Banana Multigrain Baby Rice is the only product that has been affected among the 125g pouches for babies aged 4 months and above.

It is one of 25 different flavours within the range which is designed to introduce tots to new flavours from the start of weaning with super smooth fruit and veggie baby food purees.

Ingredients include organic banana, maize, quinoa baby rice and possible traces of milk and soya.

But the batch being recalled also contains oats which should not be within the product.

In a recall notice, the Food Standards Agency said: "If you have bought the above product and have coeliac disease, an allergy or intolerance to oat or gluten, do not eat it.

"Instead return it to the store from where it was purchased for a full refund."

It also explained that Ella's Kitchen has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

The company's point-of-sale notice also explains to customers why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought the product.
