Asda and Sainsbury's recall peanut bars over allergy risk

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 10:08 · Archive

Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars have been mislabelled and withdrawn from Asda and Sainsbury's stores in England and Scotland.

Skinny Crunch Light Peanut Butter Bars have been recalled from Asda and Sainsbury's stores across England and Scotland after a packaging error was discovered. The bars were incorrectly placed inside Skinny Whip Toffee bar wrappers, which do not list peanuts as an ingredient on the packaging.

The affected batch code is 6238 (08:30-10:30) with a best before date of August 2027. The mislabelling poses a serious health risk to anyone with a peanut allergy. The Food Standards Agency has issued an official notice requiring the product to be withdrawn from sale.

The FSA and Asda have advised customers not to eat the product and to return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund, even without a receipt. Point of sale notices have been displayed in retail stores and on their websites explaining the recall. Halo Foods Ltd, the manufacturer, has been advised to contact allergy support organisations to inform their members of the issue.
