Co-op has issued a recall for a batch of its own brand pork pies due to concerns of potential allergic reactions. The convenience store chain has withdrawn its Co-op 4 Mini Pork and Pickle Pies from shelves as they contain milk, which is not declared on the label, posing a health risk to individuals with milk allergies.
The affected batch of pork pies, packaged in 200g sizes with use by dates of August 13, 14, and 16, 2025, should be returned to the nearest Co-op for a full refund by those allergic to milk. In a recall notice, Co-op advised customers to return the products to their nearest store for a refund or contact their Customer Careline if self-isolating or shielding.
