Greggs has issued an urgent recall on one of its food items sold exclusively through Iceland. The bakery has identified an issue with its Greggs 2 Pack Steak Bake, where Sausage, Bean, and Cheese Melts have been mistakenly included in certain packages. This has led to the undeclared presence of sulphites, posing a potential health risk for individuals with sensitivities to sulphur dioxide and sulphites.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) emphasized the severity of the issue, labeling the product as a possible health hazard for those with such sensitivities. Customers are advised not to consume the product and are urged to return it to their nearest Iceland store for a full refund.
Product Details
- Item: Greggs 2 Pack Steak Bake
- Pack Size: 280g (2 Steak Bakes per pack)
- Best Before: May 19, 2025
Greggs clarified that the issue is limited to the specified batch and assured consumers that no other products or date codes are affected.
In a statement, Greggs apologized for the inconvenience, stating, “We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and are committed to resolving the matter promptly.”
What to Do If Affected
If you have purchased this product and are sensitive to sulphur dioxide or sulphites, the FSA advises returning it to Iceland for a refund. Consumers should refrain from consuming the product to avoid potential health risks.

This recall underscores the importance of food safety and accurate labeling. Customers are reminded to check product details carefully, especially if they have dietary sensitivities or allergies.
Recent Food Recalls
This is not the first food recall to hit shelves recently. Lidl Northern Ireland also pulled a batch of Deluxe Sriracha Cheddar Cheese Wedges due to the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious illness. These incidents highlight the need for stringent quality control measures within the food industry.
Consumers are encouraged to stay informed about product recalls and report any concerns directly to the retailer or manufacturer.
