Asda and Sainsbury's recall peanut bars over allergy risk

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 12:02 · Archive

Asda and Sainsbury's are recalling Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars due to undeclared peanuts from a packaging error.

Halo Foods Ltd is recalling Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars sold at selected Asda and Sainsbury's stores after a packaging error at the production site. Peanut butter bars were accidentally placed inside Skinny Whip Toffee bar wrappers, which do not declare peanuts as an ingredient. This creates a potential health risk for anyone with a peanut allergy.

The Food Standards Agency has issued an allergy alert warning consumers. The recall affects five-packs of 20g bars marked with batch code 6238 and a best before date of August 2027. Affected boxes contain individual bars carrying time stamps between 8.30am and 10.30am. Stock was distributed to selected Sainsbury's stores across England and selected Asda supermarkets in England and Scotland.

Consumers who have bought the affected product are urged not to eat it and should return the bars to the store where they were purchased to receive a full refund. Shoppers with health concerns after eating the snack are advised to seek medical guidance. Halo Foods confirmed that no other Skinny products are affected by this packaging issue. Point-of-sale notices are being displayed in affected stores to explain the recall.
