A critical food safety warning has been issued to UK households who have begun their Christmas food shopping, as a popular festive product is being urgently recalled.
What Products Are Being Recalled?
The company Flapjackery has initiated a recall of its Mince Pie Crumble Flapjack products. The reason for this urgent action is that the flapjacks contain almonds, a type of nut, which are not declared on the product label. This poses a significant health risk to individuals with an allergy to almonds or nuts in general.
The specific products affected are:
- The Mince Pie Crumble Flapjack in a 170g pack with a best before date of March 2026.
- The Christmas Towers box, containing six x 85g flapjacks, also with a best before date of March 2026.
- The Rudolph box, containing six x 170g flapjacks, again with a best before date of March 2026.
Official Advice from the Food Standards Agency
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has officially stated that this product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to almonds. In response, Flapjackery is actively recalling the products from customers and has taken steps to inform relevant allergy support organisations.
The company has also issued point-of-sale notices in stores to alert customers about the recall and explain the necessary actions.
What Should You Do?
The official advice from the FSA is clear: If you have bought any of the listed Flapjackery products and have an allergy to almonds or nuts, do not eat them.
Instead, you should return the product to the store from where it was purchased for a full refund.
For any further details or concerns, customers are advised to contact Flapjackery directly via email at enquiries@flapjackery.co.uk or by calling their customer services on 01822 258008.
The FSA regularly issues such Allergy Alerts when a food product poses an allergy risk due to missing or incorrect labelling, ensuring consumer safety is prioritised.
