Aldi is issuing an urgent recall for a popular chocolate snack due to concerns about a significant health risk. The Food Standards Agency has reported that Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um’s packaging may contain peanuts, posing a potential danger to individuals with nut allergies.
Consumers who have purchased the product and have a peanut allergy are advised not to consume it. Instead, they should return it to the store of purchase for a full refund. The recall covers all 121g packs and is not limited to specific best before dates. Customers with inquiries about the product are encouraged to contact Aldi customer service.
Aldi’s recall notice states that the supplier is recalling Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um’s as a precautionary measure due to potential peanut contamination. Customers can return the product to their nearest store for a full refund. The company apologizes for the oversight and appreciates customers’ cooperation.
In a separate development, Halloween treats sold in Irish supermarkets, including Lidl and Aldi, are also subject to an urgent recall due to an undisclosed allergen. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has identified that Rose Halloween Spooky Tea Cakes were wrongly packaged with Rose Orchard Tea Cakes, which contain egg, an ingredient not listed on the label.
According to the FSAI, consumers allergic to eggs should avoid consuming the affected batches of Rose Halloween Spooky Tea Cakes. The implicated products have best-before dates of 28/08/26, 18/09/26, 22/09/26, and 24/09/26 and are being recalled for safety reasons.
