Thought you might be interested in this. Seems to be someone other than Sainsburys!!!! Found it on the Food Standards Agency website.

Waitrose has recalled some of its Richly Fruited Loaf because the product contains walnuts, which are not mentioned on the ingredients list. This makes this product a possible health risk for people with an allergy to walnuts. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
Anyone with an allergy to walnuts is advised not to eat the product.
Product details
The product being recalled is:
Product name: Waitrose Richly Fruited Loaf
Best before: 16 May 2008Although the best before date has expired and the product has a nut warning (may contain traces of nuts and sesame), Waitrose is carrying out a recall as the product packaging has instructions for freezing. The company also has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their members of the recall. Notices are being displayed in stores explaining the reason for the recall and the actions customers can take if they have bought the product.
No other Waitrose products are known to be affected.
Allergy Alerts
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy Alerts are issued. Click on 'Get alerts' in the box at the bottom of this page to find more details.
You can get details of all the latest allergy alerts as soon as they're issued by getting the details sent as a SMS text message direct to your mobile phone.
