Summary
- Fake chicken snack recalled due to undeclared soya and wheat.
- Product impacts consumers with wheat, soya, or coeliac disease.
- Affected items have specific use-by dates in late January/early February.
A precautionary recall has been announced for THIS Isn't Chicken Deli Pieces, affecting consumers with wheat or soya allergies or intolerances. The recall, initiated by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), stems from a packaging error where the product was incorrectly labelled.

Customers are urged not to consume the affected 120g packs of THIS Isn't Chicken Deli Pieces, which have use-by dates ranging from January 29 to February 13. Affected items should be returned to the store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
THIS has emphasized that customer safety is paramount and provided contact information for further inquiries. The FSA's allergy alert procedure highlights the seriousness of such mislabelling incidents.
