Asda is recalling some of its meat due to allergy concerns.
The supermarket giant has issued a recall for their maple flavour pork belly slices.
The slice may contain undeclared wheat (gluten) and soya, making them a risk to people with certain allergies.
The packs impacted have a use by date of October 29 and are 400g.

Advice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) says: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten and/or an allergy to soya, do not eat it.
“Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.”
It added: “Asda is recalling Asda Maple Flavour Pork Belly Slices because it contains wheat (gluten) and soya which are not mentioned on the label.
“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten and/or an allergy to soya.”
Point of sale notices will be displayed in all Asda stores that are selling the product.
It will explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold.
Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
Sometimes foods must be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
