If you have a peanut allergy and shop at Aldi, you need to check your shopping right away or you could be in danger, the discount supermakert has issued an urgent recalling
Aldi is urgently recalling a popular choccy treat over a serious health risk. The discount supermarket has issued the call for its Dairyfine Salted Caramel Filled Gonks because they may contain peanuts.
Peanuts don’t appear on the label but could pose a health danger for anyone with a nut allergy. The warning applies to the 90g bags with the batch code: 4061463276865. All these products are affected whatever their best before date.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “This product may contain peanuts, making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.” The agency said Aldi has been advised to contact allergy support organisations, which alert their members about recalls.
The supermarket has also put up point-of-sale notices, reports The Sun. Their statement noted: “If you have a peanut allergy, don’t eat this treat.
“You should instead return it to your nearest store for a full refund. You can find out more at help.aldi.co.uk or Aldi Customer services on 0800 042 0800.”
The recall comes just days after Aldi cleared its Kevin the Carrot toys from shelves over a huge error. The popular plush toys, sold in the Specialbuy section, vanished from some stores in the South East over scanning issues.
The Daily Star recently revealed how Kevin will marry Katie the Carrot this Christmas and kids risked missing out on the sought-after soft toy, sold with a strict two-per-person rule. The FSA has warned that a boom in exotic, social-media-friendly sweets is fuelling a rise in dangerous imports that can put allergy sufferers at risk.
