More than 20 spice products including dips, curry powders and seasonings have been recalled over fears they may contain peanuts not mentioned on the label. In a notice issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), the decision to withdraw the products - supplied by FGS Ingredients Ltd in Leicester - was described as “precautionary”. The products recalled include Domino’s BBQ Dip, seasonings and curry powders by Favourit and Dunnes Stores, and some Westmorland Family Butchery sausages and burgers.
The Food Standards Authority (FSA) has called on consumers to return a range of dips, curry powders and seasonings produced by the company FGS Ingredients over concerns that they may contain the allergen when it was not listed on their labels. The products include Domino’s BBQ Dip but also a number of seasonings and curry powders with the Favourit and Dunnes Store labels, as well as some Westmorland Family Butchery sausages and burgers.
This is the second recall of items from the Leicester-based company in recent weeks: 70 of its products were recalled in September over concerns that those containing mustard could also include undeclared nuts. FGS said following the recall that it had carried out additional testing and had “not detected any presence of peanut content or residue”, but advised retailers to remove products from sale containing the mustard ingredients.
The FSA said the latest recall by FGS was a “precautionary step” and that anyone returning products would receive a full refund. It added: “These products are sold under several different brand names at several different retail stores. Point of sale notices will be displayed where the products were sold.”
