Food Safety Authority Of Ireland Issues Precautionary Warning.

FSAI issues precautionary warning for consumers with a peanut allergy.

Thursday, 19th September 2024

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has been notified by the Food Standards Agency, UK that batches of mustard powder and mustard flour imported to the UK from India have been found to contain undeclared peanut protein.
In the interest of protecting consumers in Ireland, the FSAI, as a precautionary measure, is advising anyone with a peanut allergy or suspected peanut allergy not to eat any products containing mustard as an ingredient.

The FSAI advises affected consumers to check labelling on products prior to consumption.

Mustard is also a priority food allergen in the EU and therefore, must be declared for pre-packed food and for non-pre-packed food when used as an ingredient.

The Food Standards Agency, UK is working urgently to ascertain the source and distribution chains for these batches. The investigation is ongoing and the FSAI is liaising closely with the UK agency.

The FSAI has issued two food allergen alerts earlier this week [See links HERE and HERE ], linked to this contamination and it will issue additional food allergen alerts if any additional implicated products are found to be on sale in Ireland.
