The supermarket giant urged anyone who has purchased its Dairyfine Salted Caramel Filled Gonks to return them for a full refund, Rebecca Robinson reported for the UK’s Daily Express.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said this was because “it may contain peanuts which are not mentioned on the label,” making it “a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.”

Affected products have a packet size of 90g and a batch code of 4061463276865.

The FSA added: “Aldi is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organizations, which will tell their members about the recall.

“The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.”
