There has been a recent alert urging people to double check their grocery purchases. It seems that several popular supermarkets and restaurants in the UK have issued a recall on over 50 food items, citing safety concerns. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has taken swift action by issuing a "do not eat" warning for products sold at Aldi, Spar, and Domino's. The contamination fears surrounding these items are reportedly "life threatening."
The cause of concern is a potential peanut contamination that has been reported in more than 50 food items sold across these retailers. The FSA has specifically cautioned those with peanut allergies to avoid consuming the recalled products. This includes items such as garlic and herb dip from Aldi, dip pots from Domino's, sandwich fillers and potato salad from Booker, as well as various sandwiches, wraps, and pasta salads from Spar.
In an official statement, the FSA has stated that "FGS Ingredients Ltd" is recalling several products that contain mustard powder, as they may also contain traces of peanuts. One of the affected items is the garlic and herb dip, which is sold under different brand names at various retail stores. The agency has emphasized that anyone with a peanut allergy should refrain from consuming these products.
As a precaution, Aldi has also released a warning to its customers. The supermarket chain has confirmed that their supplier is recalling the Carlos Takeaway Garlic and Herb Dip 100g, due to a potential undeclared allergen. They have advised anyone who has purchased this product to return it to their nearest store for a full refund. Aldi has also apologized for the inconvenience and thanked customers for their cooperation.
The FSA has released a full list of the recalled products, which includes the Carlos Takeaway Garlic and Herb Dip with best before dates of November 19, 26, and December 2, 2024, as well as the Harvester Barbecue Sauce with best before dates of January 9, 16, 22, and February 16, 2026. Other affected items from Spar include cheese and onion sandwich filler, onion and garlic dip, sour cream and chive dip, coleslaw, and various pasta salads and sandwiches. Additionally, Domino's has stated that their garlic and herb and honey and mustard dip pots may also be affected.
According to Domino's, the recall is due to a supplier quality issue and the affected products were provided up to September 15, 2024. Customers who have these dip pots at home are advised to dispose of them and the restaurant chain has apologized for any inconvenience caused. The FSA has also reiterated the seriousness of this issue, especially for those with peanut allergies, and has urged anyone who has purchased these items to refrain from consuming them.
In light of this urgent recall, it is important for everyone to thoroughly check their purchases and dispose of any affected products. The FSA, supermarkets, and restaurants are working together to ensure the safety of their customers and have apologized for any inconvenience caused. Let's all take necessary precautions to avoid any potential health risks.
