Dive Summary:
- U.K. supermarket chain Booths has recalled its Whole Hearted Roasted Monkey Nuts because the packaging does not warn consumers the product contains peanuts.
- A Booths spokesman said, "Booths is withdrawing some batches of its Whole Hearted Roasted Monkey Nuts because the presence of peanuts is not declared on the label. This makes the product unsuitable for anyone with an allergy to peanuts."
From the article:
"... 'Booths takes the accurate labelling very seriously, particularly surrounding issues on allergen advice. Our technical manager, Waheed Hassan, alerted the Food Standards Agency about this labelling error immediately, as well as posting notices in all Booths stores.'
Hassan said: 'It is our responsibility as retailers to accurately record allergy advice, and in this instance we felt a responsibility to recall the product and issue a notice to our customers who might suffer from a specific peanut allergy.' ..."
