Filippo Berio UK has initiated a recall of its Hot Chilli Pesto due to undeclared fish content, posing a risk to consumers with fish allergies. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) announced the recall on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
The affected product is the Filippo Berio Hot Chilli Pesto in a 190g pack, specifically carrying batch code LR319 and a best-before date of May 15, 2028. This batch was not accurately labelled, failing to disclose the presence of fish.
Customers who have purchased the product and have a fish allergy are strongly advised not to consume it. They should return the item to the place of purchase for a complete refund. The company is cooperating with allergy support organisations to inform affected consumers.
The FSA uses recalls and withdrawals to remove unsafe food from sale. This situation highlights the critical importance of accurate allergy labelling to prevent potential health risks.
