Kettle Foods Ltd has withdrawn some packs of its Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips Sweet Chilli because they contain wheat (gluten).
Wheat is labelled in the ingredients list, however the product labeling also states 'no gluten-containing ingredients'.
This makes the product a possible health risk for anyone who has an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten.
