Greggs urgently recalls popular items that pose a 'possible health risk'
A batch of popular Greggs items that are sold at exclusively at Iceland have been deemed a "possible health risk" for some customers.
The popular bakery firm issued a recall on Monday, January 20 for its two-pack of Steak Bakes. A packaging error has led to some of the packs containing Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melts, which contain sulphites.
An alert to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has advised that, since this ingredient is not declared on the packaging, the product poses a possible health risk for those with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites.

The FSA alert shares that the Steak Bake packs affected by the Greggs recall are 280g in size and have a best before date of May 19, 2025. As they are sold exclusively to Iceland, shoppers have been urged to not consume them, but to return them to store for a full refund.
Greggs has also contacted the relevant allergy support networks, alongside issuing point of sale notices that explain to customers why the product is being recalled and what to do if they have purchased the affected packs.
In the recall notice, Greggs explained to its customers: "We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you have any queries please contact Customer Care on +44 0801 473 447 or getintouch@greggs.co.uk."

The 700g packs with the batch code L4285 and best before date of October 2025 were affected by the recall. As they contain milk, which has been undeclared, they pose a health risk to anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or dairy products.
Shoppers who believe they have purchased the affected packs of sausage rolls have been advised not to consume them. Instead, they are being urged to return them to the store they were bought from where they will receive a full refund.
