Farmfoods recalls chicken curry ready meal over undeclared prawns

Farmfoods is urgently recalling its Ultimate Keralan Chicken Curry after discovering undeclared prawns not listed on the label.

Customers are being warned not to eat the product if they have a crustacean allergy or intolerance.

The recall affects the 400g Farmfoods Ultimate Keralan Chicken Curry, product code L550, with a best before date of 13 February 2026.

In its recall notice, Farmfoods stated:

It has come to our attention that a limited quantity of our 400g Farmfoods Ultimate Keralan Chicken Curry were mistakenly produced with prawns.

This ingredient is not declared on the product label, posing a potential health risk to individuals with seafood allergies or intolerances.

We take consumer safety very seriously and sincerely apologise to our loyal customers for this situation and any inconvenience it may have caused.”

The retailer has contacted relevant allergy support organisations and issued point-of-sale notices to inform customers of the reason for the recall and advise on the next steps.

Consumers with a crustacean allergy or intolerance must avoid the curry and return it to the store for a full refund. No receipt is required. For further assistance, contact Farmfoods’ customer services on 0121 700 7160.
