Full list of 24 spice products urgently recalled over peanut allergy fears
Lidl and Domino’s pizza dips are among dozens of spice products recalled over fears they contain peanuts.
The 24 products are all made by the catering food and drink supplier FGS Ingredients Ltd and contain mustard.
Since September, the Leicester business has recalled well over 100 products, many sold under different brand names in grocers and supermarkets, after finding traces of peanuts.
Impacted products include Domino’s BBQ-flavoured dips, Dunnes Stores Mild Curry Powder and Lidl’s Chef Select garlic and herb dip.
Food safety officials announced yesterday, however, that the recall list has been extended.
‘Because they may contain peanuts which are not mentioned on the label,’ the Food Standards Authority (FSA) says, ‘this means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.’
Shoppers should return the items immediately for a full refund.

The FSA issued the ‘precautionary’ recall – meaning the products aren’t gone for good but should be returned to stores.
The FSA added: ‘If you have bought any of the above products and have an allergy to peanuts, do not eat them. Instead return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.’
FGS Ingredients Ltd said in September that undeclared nuts were found within some of its mustard products.
They include about 30 lines sold in SPAR supermarkets, including ready-made sandwiches, as well as Harvester’s BBQ Sauce, Domino’s honey and mustard dips.
The company imports mustard to manufacture spice products including curry powders, seasonings and spice blends from India.
Additional tests since have ‘not detected any presence of peanut content or residue’, the producer said.
Darren Whitby, the FSA’s head of incidents, said last month: ‘Our advice still applies – those with a peanut allergy should avoid consuming products containing mustard as an ingredient until we identify the individual products affected.
‘Parents and carers of children who have a peanut allergy should take care to check the labels of food they buy and, if eating out, or getting a takeaway, ask the restaurant or cafe about foods that might contain mustard.’
Notices about which products are being recalled will be displayed in shops.
The FSA has issued several recalls over concerns of peanut contamination. Takeout delivery service Just Eat urged customers to ‘not consume’ hundreds of mustard products as they may contain this allergen earlier this month.
While Papa John’s also recalled a dipping sauce over the weekend for possibly containing peanuts.
About 1 in 50 children and 1 in 200 adults in the UK have a nut allergy, with allergic reactions. People suffering from an allergic reaction to peanuts often break out in itchy rashes, see their face swell and experience stomach pains.
