Urgent Food Recall: Popular Slimming World and Iceland Ready Meals May Contain Undeclared Peanuts

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has sounded the alarm with an urgent recall announcement for certain products from Slimming World and Iceland, flagging them as potentially "unsafe" due to undeclared peanut presence.

According to the FSAI alert: "Peanut is not an ingredient in this product and therefore is not declared in the list of ingredients. This may make the batches unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of peanut," the authority warned, reports the Irish Mirror. Some of these products are also sold in Dunnes Stores across Ireland.

Over on its website, Iceland raised a red flag, advising customers to "do not eat" affected products and stating, "Due to a supplier contamination issue, we are recalling a number of products as a precaution because they may contain peanut allergen, which could pose a risk to those consumers who have a peanut allergy."

Iceland's direct guidance was clear: "If you have purchased any of the above product, DO NOT eat it."

Specifically recalled are five Slimming World and three Iceland ready meals which should be returned for a full refund if bought by those with peanut allergies. The Irish Food Allergy Network (IFAN) notes that peanut allergies are quite common in children and often coexist with asthma, eczema, or hay fever.

The products listed by the FSAI as being recalled are:
