Empanada stripped from shelves at popular Spanish supermarket due to serious labelling error

Spanish health authorities have issued a food alert for people with a seafood allergy after unlabelled traces of fish were found in empanadas sold in Ahorramas supermarkets.

The company has already stopped selling the products, as it pointed out on its website, and urges customers who may have them at home to go to their nearest shop for a refund. Anyone with doubts can phone the customer service department on 900 113 213.
