The consumer community is on alert after the publication of a notification from the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) regarding a chicken and mushroom empanada sold in Ahorramas supermarkets. The warning is particularly directed at those consumers allergic to fish, who could be at risk if they have purchased this product.
The alert was issued by the health authorities of Madrid, who were notified by the company itself about an error in the product labeling. Ahorramas, in response, has preventively removed all units of this empanada from its shelves.
The problem is that the labeling does not include a warning about the possible presence of traces of fish, an allergen that must be indicated according to current regulations. This could represent a significant risk to those consumers allergic to fish who could ingest the product without being adequately informed.
The affected lots are those with expiration dates of 02/20/2024, 02/21/2024 and 02/22/2024. Ahorramas has urged all customers who purchased this empanada on those dates to return the product to their corresponding stores. A full refund of the amount paid for the product is guaranteed, without the need to present the purchase receipt.
If you have any questions or queries, a customer service number (900 113 213) has been provided to provide assistance and resolve any concerns related to this food problem. Consumers are urged to take precautions and return the affected product to avoid any risk to their health.
