ALDI has launched an urgent product recall of its popular Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um bars after discovering they contain peanuts not mentioned on the packaging, posing a serious health risk to allergy sufferers.
The supermarket chain issued the immediate warning through the Food Standards Agency, alerting customers that the 120g chocolate bars with best-before dates of August 2025 may contain undeclared peanuts.
Critical Safety Information
ALDI is urging customers who have purchased the affected product not to consume it and to return it to their nearest store for a full refund. No receipt is required for the return.
The recall affects specifically the Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um 120g bars with the August 2025 best-before date. Customers with peanut allergies could experience severe reactions including anaphylaxis if they consume the product.
What Customers Should Do
- Check your pantry for Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um 120g bars
- Verify the best-before date is August 2025
- Do not consume the product if you have a peanut allergy
- Return the item to any ALDI store for a full refund
- Contact ALDI customer service with any concerns
The Food Standards Agency emphasized that while other ALDI products are unaffected, consumers should remain vigilant about checking allergy information on all food packaging.
This recall highlights the ongoing importance of accurate food labelling and the potentially life-threatening consequences of labelling errors for the millions of Britons living with food allergies.
