Supermarkets across the UK have issued an urgent recall for Spoon Cereals' Cinnamon and Pecan Granola after it was found to potentially contain peanuts and gluten, posing a serious health risk to allergy sufferers.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) warned consumers not to eat the 400g packets with batch code M5244 and best before dates of May 22, 2026, and May 26, 2026. The product is sold at Waitrose, Ocado, and Morrisons for up to £5.
Spoon Cereals stated that a small number of the batch was mispackaged by a co-packer, leading to possible contamination. The company advised customers with peanut or gluten allergies, or coeliac disease, to return the product for a full refund.
Peanut and gluten allergies can cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis. The FSA has issued point-of-sale notices to inform customers. For more information, contact Spoon Cereals at spoon@spooncereals.co.uk.
