Greggs Steak Bakes Recalled Over Health Risk Concerns
In a recent development, Greggs, the beloved UK bakery chain, has issued an urgent recall of its two-pack frozen steak bakes sold exclusively in Iceland stores. The recall stems from a packaging mix-up, with some steak bakes mistakenly containing sausage, bean, and cheese melts. This error poses a potential health risk as these alternative bakes include sulphites—ingredients not declared on the steak bake packaging.
Sulphites, commonly used as preservatives in food and drink, can trigger reactions in individuals sensitive to sulphur dioxide or sulphites. Symptoms may range from mild stomach discomfort to airway issues, particularly for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Although reactions are typically mild, severe cases, including anaphylaxis, have been reported, making accurate food labeling critical for consumer safety.

The affected packs carry a best-before date of May 19, 2025. Greggs and the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) urge customers who purchased the product to refrain from consuming it. Instead, they should return the item to their nearest Iceland store for a full refund. Customers can also contact Greggs’ customer care team for more information.
This proactive recall highlights the importance of food safety and transparent labeling. Greggs has worked swiftly to alert consumers through in-store notices and collaborations with allergy support organizations. While the incident is limited to specific batches of frozen steak bakes, it underscores the potential impact of even minor packaging errors in the food industry.
For those affected, returning the product ensures not only a refund but also helps Greggs mitigate further risks. This recall serves as a reminder of the broader responsibility companies bear in safeguarding their customers’ health, especially when allergens are involved.
Stay informed, and if you have any concerns about this recall, don’t hesitate to reach out to Greggs or visit an Iceland store for assistance.
