Supermarket Sainsbury's tells customers to urgently return fried chicken

Fried chicken lovers are being warned about products sold in supermarkets which need to be urgently returned over safety concerns.

SFC Wholesale Ltd, which is based in Southport, is recalling its Original SFC Bargain Box 700g due to the presence of buttermilk which is not declared on the packaging.

Guidance on the Food Standard Agency's website says: "This means the product is a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.

"This product is only sold in Sainsbury’s stores."

Based on Southport's Lord Street, SFC provides a "full range of cooked and breaded chicken products".

The ECHO understands the company employs up to 50 people.

Anyone who has purchased the Original SFC Bargain Box 700g, with expiration dates up to and including September 30, 2022, can take them back to store - with or without a receipt - to obtain a full refund.

Other products have been recalled to various supermarkets this week.

These include salad cream, pork scratchings, and Quorn slices.
