Greggs has issued a recall of some of its products which were packaged incorrectly and may pose a health risk to customers.
The bakery is recalling its Greggs 2 pack Steak Bake because some packs contain Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melts.
As a result, the product may contain sulphites which are not mentioned in the label, making the product a possible health risk for anyone with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and sulphites.
The affected products, sold at Iceland, have a best before date of May 19.

A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “Greggs is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
“The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought the above product and have a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites do not consume it.
“Instead return it to your nearest Iceland store from where it was bought for a full refund. For further information, contact Customer Care on 08081 473 447 or getintouch@greggs.co.uk.”
A Greggs spokesman added: “This 2-pack product is exclusive to Iceland and therefore the recall is only applicable to product purchased from Iceland stores.
“No other products, date codes or batches are affected.
“We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
What is an allergy alert?
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Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.
