The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is warning consumers who may have a peanut allergy to carefully check the ingredients of all products.
The UK Food Standards Agency informed the Irish authority that batches of mustard powder and mustard flour imported to the UK from India have been found to contain undeclared peanut protein.
In the interest of protecting consumers in Ireland, the FSAI, as a precautionary measure, is advising anyone with a peanut allergy or suspected peanut allergy not to eat any products containing mustard as an ingredient.
Mustard is also a priority food allergen in the EU and therefore, must be declared for pre-packed food and for non-pre-packed food when used as an ingredient.
Warnings have been issued about the possible presence of peanuts in specific batches of Domino’s garlic and herb dip and also in Carlos Takeaway garlic and herb dip.
