Peanut allergen notice: precautionary product recall

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) have been working with food businesses and Local Authorities to investigate the food supply chain for mustard ingredients which may have been contaminated with peanuts, posing potential risk to people with a peanut allergy. 

Following extensive and ongoing investigations, the food business FGS Ingredients Limited, who import mustard to manufacture spice products including curry powders, seasonings and spice blends from India, have undertaken a precautionary withdrawal and recall of all products they supply direct to retail or to food manufacturers containing mustard. 

As these spices and blends are also used in products such as ready meals, we’re recalling a number of Slimming World food range products stocked in Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores in the UK, and in Dunnes stores in Ireland – as a precaution aligned with guidance from the FSA. 

Only the products listed below with the Best Before dates listed below are affected:    

Product Name Available in Dunnes Stores? Best Before Date 
Slimming World Burger Pasta Yes All date codes up to and including BB: 01/05/2025

About Slimming World

Slimming World was founded by Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE in Derbyshire in 1969 and has become the UK and Ireland’s leading weight loss organisation with more people choosing to attend a Slimming World group each week than any other weight loss programme. We support hundreds of thousands of people, both in our groups and online, to lose weight and to adopt new habits to stay slim for life.

Over the years our founding principles haven’t changed:

·          Our unique programme is based on a powerfully motivating support system called IMAGE (Individual Motivation and Group Experience) Therapy. Underpinned by a deep understanding of the psychology of overweight people, and incorporating the most effective sustainable behaviour change techniques, IMAGE Therapy is designed to inspire and motivate slimmers to make positive changes and to develop new, healthier habits around food and physical activity.

·          Food Optimising is our healthy eating plan, based on the liberating concept of Free Food. We encourage our members to fill up on those foods that are naturally lower in energy density (calories per gram) and also highly satisfying while limiting foods that are highest in fat and sugar and are less satisfying, so they lose weight without ever feeling hungry or deprived and without having to weigh, measure or count everything they eat. 

·          Our physical activity support programme, Body Magic helps members to overcome any barriers around exercise. Members choose when to start and they set the pace, finding activities they genuinely enjoy, until regular physical activity becomes an intrinsic part of their daily routine. 

At the heart of everything we do lies our passion for treating every member with genuine care, empathy and respect.

We’re proud to work with the NHS, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), The Royal College of Midwives, Diabetes UK and others to help shape the future of weight management in the UK and Ireland.
