A viral chocolate sensation has been pulled from shelves in a major food safety alert. Brookie Bakes has issued an urgent recall for its Dubai Bar Pistachio & Knafeh chocolate over fears it contains undeclared peanuts, posing a serious risk to allergy sufferers.
Urgent Allergy Alert Issued by Food Standards Agency
The recall was officially published on the Food Standards Agency (FSA) website on December 18, 2025. The agency states that the presence of peanuts in the product creates a "possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts." The alert impacts all batch codes and best before dates for the 68g chocolate bar.
The FSA's direct advice to the public is clear: if you have bought this product and have a peanut allergy, do not eat it. Brookie Bakes has initiated the recall and has alerted relevant allergy support organisations so they can inform their members.
Details of the Recalled Product
The recalled item is the Brookie Bakes Dubai Bar Pistachio & Knafeh, 68g. Inspired by a viral trend, the sweet treat had gained significant popularity before this safety issue emerged. The recall is specifically due to the product potentially containing peanuts which are not declared on the label, a critical oversight for those managing allergies.
Second Major Allergy Recall in Days
This chocolate alert follows closely on the heels of another significant food recall. Just days earlier, supermarket chain Aldi was forced to recall its Perfect Christmas Mozzarella Sticks in Blankets because the product contained egg not mentioned on the label.
That recall, also coordinated by the FSA, affected 178g packs with a use by date of December 15. Aldi issued point-of-sale notices in stores to inform customers of the recall and the potential risk to those with an egg allergy or intolerance.
These consecutive incidents highlight the critical importance of accurate food labelling and the swift action taken by regulators and companies when potential risks are identified. Consumers with food allergies are urged to always check product labels and heed official recall notices.
