Capsicana Mild Salsa Recalled Over Undeclared Barley and Mustard

Capsicana is recalling a batch of Easy Going Mild Salsa containing barley and mustard that are not declared on the packaging. The alert applies in England and Wales.

What’s Affected

• Product: Capsicana Easy Going Mild Salsa
• Pack size: 285g
• Batch code: 6091
• Best before: May 2027

What You Should Do

Do not eat the salsa if you have a mustard allergy, an allergy or intolerance to barley or gluten, or coeliac disease. Return it to the shop for a full refund without a receipt. Capsicana’s consumer care team can be reached on 0800 0195 617.

Why a Dip Needs the Same Allergen Check as a Meal

The recalled salsa contains both barley and mustard. Either can be a reason for someone to avoid it, and the product's mild flavour description tells you nothing about those ingredients. The FSA includes people with coeliac disease as well as those with the allergies or intolerances specified in the notice.

If the salsa was used as a topping or ingredient in another dish, keep the jar details available and tell anyone who needs to avoid the named allergens. They may never have seen the original label themselves.

A Cupboard Check, Not Just a Recent-Purchase Check

The May 2027 best-before date means the affected jar could be stored for some time after the July recall. Look for the 285g size and batch 6091 together, including jars already opened. The notice covers England and Wales. If the code is difficult to read, ask the retailer or Capsicana's care team to help identify it before using the jar for someone with the relevant dietary needs.

Read the official FSA notice for the recall details and any further updates.
