Sainsbury's and Asda recall snack bars over undeclared peanuts

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 10:30 · Archive

Halo Foods is recalling Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars sold at Sainsbury's and Asda after peanut butter bars were accidentally packed in toffee bar wrappers that do not declare peanuts.

Halo Foods Ltd is withdrawing batches of Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars from selected Sainsbury's stores across England and Asda supermarkets in England and Scotland due to a packaging error discovered at the production site.

Peanut butter bars were accidentally placed inside Skinny Whip Toffee bar wrappers, which do not declare peanuts as an ingredient on the packaging. This creates a potential health risk for anyone with a peanut allergy who may consume the product believing it to be toffee bars.

The Food Standards Agency has issued an allergy alert to warn 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.

Consumers who have bought the affected product are urged not to eat it. Customers should return the bars to the store where they were bought to receive a full refund. Those with concerns about their health 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 reason for the recall and instruct customers on how to claim their money back.
