Food chiefs add even more products to list for nut allergy sufferers to avoid after 'contaminated mustard powder' feared to contain 'undeclared peanuts'

Food chiefs have added nine more items to the list of popular snacks for nut allergy sufferers to avoid amid fears they could contain 'undeclared peanuts'.

More than 60 items from popular food sellers including Domino's, Aldi and Spar have been recalled for containing mustard powder that is believed to have been cross contaminated with peanuts.

The food standards agency issued an 'allergy alert' earlier this week warning that the products are a 'possible health risk' for anyone with an allergy to peanuts, some of whom could die if they come into contact with the food.

Domino's has also told its customers with allergies not to eat some of their most popular dips, after some complained of having an 'itchy mouth' after eating its food.

The mustard powder comes from Leicester-based family firm FGS Ingredients Ltd, whose products - thought to contain rogue peanuts - have been recalled by the Foods Standards Agency (FSA).

Even traces of peanuts are enough to send some people into anaphylactic shock, which could kill them.

The FSA said: 'FGS Ingredients Ltd is recalling several products containing mustard powder because they may contain peanuts.

'This means these products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.

'These products are sold under several different brand names at several different retail stores.'

It comes after a customer wrote online that they had developed an 'itchy mouth' after consuming one of the dips, Sky News reported.

An email from the group to customers advised that both 100g pots and the smaller 25g pots that come with pizzas were potentially contaminated.

The notice read: 'At Domino's Pizza, the quality of our products and the safety of our customers is the highest priority, particularly when it comes to allergens.

'We have become aware that some of our Garlic and Herb dip and Honey and Mustard dip may contain traces of peanut.

'If you do have a peanut allergy, please dispose of the dips and do not consume them. If you do not have a peanut allergy, no further action is required.

'We are sorry for any concern and inconvenience this issue may cause.'

A spokesperson for Domino's said: 'At the weekend, we discovered that some batches of Domino's Pizza Garlic & Herb and Honey & Mustard dips contained traces of peanut which could pose a risk for people with peanut allergies.

'We have withdrawn all these dips from sale, and ask any customers who have people in their household with peanut allergies not to consume and instead dispose of any of these dips that they have at home.

'Domino's takes food safety very seriously and we are working urgently with our supplier to understand how this happened and ensure it doesn't happen again.

'There will be disruption to the supply of dips in the coming days while we wait for new supplies to arrive and appreciate customers' understanding during this time.'

Allergens in fast food have come under the spotlight following several high profile incidents.

Schoolgirl Hannah Jacobs, 13, died hours after taking a sip of a Costa Coffee hot chocolate last year.

An inquest into her death found staff at the coffee shop chain had failed to follow allergy safety procedures.
