Damasgate Wholesale has issued an urgent recall for its Sofra Potato Chips Seasoning due to the presence of undeclared peanuts, which pose a potential health risk to consumers with allergies.
The company has taken immediate action to remove the affected product from store shelves and is working with allergy support organisations to alert their members about the recall.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an Allergy Alert regarding the product, which affects all lot numbers and best before dates of the 100g seasoning packets.
The recall follows standard FSA procedures for cases where food products require withdrawal or recall due to missing or incorrect allergy labelling that could present risks to consumers.
A point-of-sale notice has been issued to customers

The FSA has confirmed that the product poses a possible health risk, specifically for anyone with a peanut allergy.
