Aldi Ireland Issues Urgent Recall on Chocolate Treat with Serious ‘Do Not Eat’ Warning
Aldi Ireland has initiated an urgent recall of one of its popular chocolate treats, the Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um’s. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued a ‘do not eat’ warning due to the potential presence of peanuts in every batch of the product. Despite this allergen not being included in the ingredient list, the FSAI advises consumers with peanut allergies to avoid the treat.
Aldi’s Recall Specifics
The Dairyfine Crispy Choc Um’s, sold in 121g packs, is being removed from all Aldi stores across Ireland. This recall affects all batches, regardless of their best before dates. The FSAI has communicated that the presence of peanuts may pose a serious risk to individuals who are allergic or intolerant.

Consumer Advisory

Recent Product Recalls
This chocolate treat is not the only product facing scrutiny. A different item, the Vale View Schuyler Irish Grown Red Wine 2023, was also recalled recently. The FSAI found that this wine contained sulphur dioxide, an ingredient not mentioned on the label.
