Daylesford Organic, a premium organic food brand, has issued an urgent recall for one of its nut butter products due to potential undeclared allergens. The affected product may pose a serious health risk to those with specific allergies.
What’s Being Recalled?
The recall involves Daylesford Organic Almond & Cashew Butter (200g jars) with specific batch codes. The product may contain traces of peanuts, which are not listed on the label, making it hazardous for individuals with peanut allergies.

What Should Customers Do?
- Check your pantry for the affected batch (batch codes: L3124, L3125, L3126).
- Do not consume the product if you have a peanut allergy.
- Return it to the store for a full refund or dispose of it safely.
