Coeliac disease is a condition where the digestive system reacts when gluten is consumed.
Both 250g and 450g pack sizes of Gilbert's Chopped Liver are included in the recall.
The alert covers eight batch combinations across four use by dates.
Affected 250g packs carry use by dates of October 23, October 28, November 4 and November 13.
Tubs weighing 450g share the use by dates of October 23, October 28, November 4 and November 13.
Retail stores stocking the product will display point of sale notices explaining the reason for the recall to shoppers.
Shoppers who purchased any of the listed packs and have an intolerance or allergy are instructed not to eat them.
Customers should return the food to the shop where it was bought to receive a full refund.
Customers seeking further information can contact the manufacturer directly or speak to staff at the store where the item was purchased.
Allergy support organisations have also been contacted so they can inform members about the health risk.
What is a product recall?
Food products are removed from sale when an issue arises that means an item should not be sold.
A withdrawal happens when a product is taken off store shelves before members of the public buy it.
Product recalls take place when customers are asked to return items they have already purchased.
Items may be withdrawn or recalled if allergy labelling is missing or incorrect, or if contamination is detected.
The Food Standards Agency issues allergy alerts whenever a food allergy risk is identified in goods.
These alerts inform the public and explain what actions customers and retailers must take.
Manufacturers and food outlets work together to trace stock and minimise risk to consumer health.
Government guidelines require companies to act when an undeclared allergen is discovered in food.
Officials review allergy alerts regularly to keep shoppers safe across England.
