Aldi recalls Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um's as they may contain peanuts
A supermarket is recalling a chocolate snack as it may prove deadly to some people.
Aldi says its supplier is recalling Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um's because they may contain peanuts.
The discount chain said: “Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given. We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation.”
The Food Standards Agency has put out the recall, explaining that “the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts”. Nut allergies can cause anaphylaxis, which can see a swelling of the throat and a drop in blood pressure and hives, which can have serious consequences and in a worst-case scenario death.
The Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um’s come in a 121g packet and the recall covers all best-before dates.
Anyone who has bought the sweets has been asked to return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
