The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an urgent recall for a batch of Dubai-manufactured chocolate bars after discovering they contain undeclared peanuts, a potentially life-threatening risk for allergy sufferers.
What Products Are Affected?
The recall applies to 40g Delights of the World Assorted Chocolate Bars with a best-before date of 31 December 2024. These products were distributed to independent retailers across the UK.
Why Is This Dangerous?
Peanuts are one of the most common food allergens, capable of triggering severe reactions including anaphylaxis. The FSA warns that consuming these chocolates could be fatal for individuals with peanut allergies.
What Should Consumers Do?
If you've purchased this product:
- Do not consume it if you have a peanut allergy
- Return it to the place of purchase for a full refund
- Check your cupboards if you've bought chocolates recently
The FSA advises anyone concerned about allergic reactions to seek immediate medical attention.
