Indo Asian Foods has issued a recall for its Malabar Choice Spicy Kerala Mixture after the product was found to contain milk, which is not declared on the label. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned customers with milk allergies or intolerances not to consume the snack and to return it for a full refund.
The affected product is the 275g packet with batch code ARC 109 and a best-before date of December 2026. The spicy mixture, a traditional Indian snack made from crispy lentils, toasted nuts and fragrant spices, poses a significant health risk to those with milk allergies.
The FSA stated: “This product contains milk, making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.” The agency added: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store you purchased from for a full refund (with or without a receipt).”
No adverse health effects have been reported so far. Indo Asian Foods described the recall as a precautionary step, saying: “Product safety and quality remain our highest priorities. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
