A popular dessert company has initiated a recall of one of its frozen sweet treats from supermarket shelves due to a labelling error that could pose a health risk to consumers. The manufacturer, Gü, is urging customers to check their freezers for a specific batch of its Double Sea Salted Caramel Frozen Dessert. This decision was made because the packaging fails to mention two potential allergens: hazelnuts and soya lecithin.
Official Warning Issued
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an official warning regarding the sweet treat on May 28. Experts have stated that the mistake could pose significant health risks for individuals with specific dietary restrictions, particularly those with nut or soya allergies.
Affected Product Details
The affected product is the 2 x 85g twin pack of Gü Double Sea Salted Caramel Frozen Dessert. To determine if your purchase is part of the recall, look for batch number 126135 and a best-before date of June 30, 2027. The ingredients in the pots may contain hazelnuts and soya lecithin, which are not listed on the ingredient list. Because these ingredients are undeclared, the item is unsafe for anyone with a nut or soya allergy.
Safety Guidelines for Consumers
If you have purchased this product and have an allergy, you must follow the safety guidelines provided by the FSA. The agency released a statement advising: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to hazelnuts (nuts) and/or soya do not eat it." Instead, consumers should return the dessert to the supermarket where it was purchased to receive a full refund. A receipt is not required for a refund. For further details, customers can email recall@gupuds.com.
