Asda and Sainsbury's recall peanut bars over packaging error

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 02:32 · Archive

Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars have been recalled from Asda and Sainsbury's stores after being incorrectly packaged in Skinny Whip Toffee bar wrappers. The wrappers do not declare peanuts as an ingredient, creating a significant health risk for anyone with a peanut allergy.

The Food Standards Agency has issued the recall notice and advised that Halo Foods Ltd, the manufacturer, will contact relevant allergy support organisations to alert their members. Customers who have purchased the product have been urged not to eat it.

Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling the product and on their websites. The FSA stated that affected customers should return the product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund. The affected batch code is 6238, with a best before date of August 2027.
