Message:
Soya DNA was detected in a batch of Old El Paso 8 Soft Corn Tortillas. Soya is not declared on the label. This may make the tortillas unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of soya. The level of soya detected was unquantified and could have been very low as it was detected by a DNA-based test method. No labelling legislation was breached because soya was not an intentional ingredient of the flour tortillas. No recall is required. Only one batch has been tested, the status of other batches is unknown.
The implicated batch of tortillas may be unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of soya.
