Alerts for two separate Dubai-style products have now been issued by the FSA, as they contain undeclared allergens.
Denar Limited has recalled Destan Pistazien Crème Dubai Style 200g because it contains milk which is not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
The recall includes all batch codes and best before dates up to and including 4 April 2027.
It comes just two weeks after the FSA issued a recall of Noesis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate 95g, for containing undeclared peanuts.
All lot numbers and best before dates of the chocolate bar, manufactured by Noesis, Gida ve Unlu Mam Ltd, are affected.
The FSA urged all food businesses selling the product in the UK to immediately stop sales and to undertake product withdrawals and, where there had been retail sales, to undertake product recalls. This is because the product presents a serious risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts.
Furthermore, the FSA urged consumers not to buy the product, and if they had bought it not to eat it – especially if they have a peanut allergy.
Instead, consumers should dispose of the product at home and get in touch with their local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health officers in Northern Ireland, to let them know where they purchased it.
According to the FSA, businesses had been supplied the Noesis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate bar by a company called Black Sea Trading, which had so far been uncontactable. As a result, food safety action was required by the food businesses selling these products.
The FSA said it was working closely with relevant enforcement authorities to progress investigations and ensure affected products were withdrawn from the market. It was also informing allergy organisations of the issue.
The FSA last month issued a warning to retailers, importers and consumers that some Dubai-style chocolate being sold in the UK may pose a risk to individuals with food allergies.
