Burger ‘do not eat’ warning: Recall of HECK Minted Lamb Burgers issued over “health risk”

Meat producer HECK is recalling some packs of its Minted Lamb Burgers as some packs may contain ingredients not on the label. The product may contain milk - potentially posing a risk to those with a dairy allergy.

Details of the recall have been published by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which said: "Some products were incorrectly packed with HECK Steak and Butter Burgers which contain milk."

The product being recalled is a 320g, two-pack of HECK Minted Lamb Burgers, with a use-by date of April 3, 2026.

"This product may contain milk making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents," the FSA added. "HECK is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact 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."

The FSA urged anyone who has bought the product and has an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents not to eat it. "Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund with or without a receipt," they added.
