More than 20 dips and seasonings, including Domino’s Pizza’s BBQ dip, have been recalled over fears that may they contain undeclared peanuts, the food watchdog has said.
The Food Standards Authority (FSA) has now called on consumers to return a range of dips, curry powders and seasonings produced by the company FGS Ingredients over concerns that they may contain the allergen when it was not listed on their labels.
The products include Domino’s BBQ Dip but also a number of seasonings and curry powders with the Favourit and Dunnes Store labels, as well as some Westmorland Family Butchery sausages and burgers.
It is the second recall of items from the Leicester-based company in recent weeks: 70 of its products were recalled in September over concerns that those containing mustard could also include undeclared nuts.
FGS said following the recall that it had carried out additional testing and had “not detected any presence of peanut content or residue”, but advised retailers to remove products from sale containing the mustard ingredients.
The FSA said the latest recall by FGS was a “precautionary step” and that anyone returning products would receive a full refund.
It added: “These products are sold under several different brand names at several different retail stores. Point of sale notices will be displayed where the products were sold.”
The 70 FGS products containing mustard that were recalled last month included Domino’s garlic and herb dip, as well as some sandwiches and condiments from Spar convenience stores.
The FSA said it had traced the contaminated mustard ingredients to a producer in India and had only identified one company, FGS, as having used these ingredients in UK food.
The Guardian has contacted FGS about the latest recall.
