Morrisons has issued an urgent product recall for certain nut snacks due to the presence of undeclared allergens, posing a serious health risk to consumers with allergies. The supermarket chain is recalling specific batches of its own-brand nut mixes after discovering that they may contain peanuts, almonds, or other nuts not listed on the ingredients label.
Affected Products
The recall applies to Morrisons Nut Mix 200g and Morrisons Salted Peanuts 200g, with best-before dates ranging from March to May 2025. Customers who have purchased these items are advised not to consume them and to return them to any Morrisons store for a full refund. No receipt is required.
Health Risks
The undeclared allergens could trigger severe reactions in individuals with nut allergies, including anaphylaxis. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a warning, urging customers to check their cupboards and take immediate action if they have bought the affected products.
Company Response
A Morrisons spokesperson said: "We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Customer safety is our top priority, and we are working closely with the FSA to resolve this issue." The company has also set up a customer service helpline for further inquiries.
This recall follows a series of similar incidents in the UK food industry, highlighting the need for rigorous allergen management. Consumers are advised to stay informed about product recalls through the FSA website.
