A major UK supermarket has urgently recalled two varieties of doughnuts and issued a “do not consume” warning to shoppers. Waitrose has recalled the products over a potential health risk. The supermarket chain issued the recall for Waitrose & Partners Sweet, Fluffy, Golden Ring Doughnuts 5’s and Waitrose & Partners Jammy, Messy, Squidgy Doughnuts 5’s “due an undeclared allergen – SOY”, which was not declared on the label. As a result, this poses a potential health risk for anyone intolerant to soya, with Waitrose urging those shoppers: “Do not consume.”
The recalled Waitrose donoughts have a best before date of November 10 and 11, 2026. Anyone who has bought the products has been urged to package up the item and return it to their local Waitrose & Partners branch for a full refund. Customers can also call the Waitrose Customer Care line for more information. The supermarket apologised “for the inconvenience caused”.
