Aldi issues major recall for popular chocolate treat
Reese’s Dipped Pretzels have been recalled by Aldi for containing an undeclared allergen - peanuts.
Packets of the popular chocolate-peanut snack went on sale without clearly stating that they contain peanuts.
Consumers who have a peanut allergy could suffer a serious reaction if they unknowingly eat the treat.
The 120g packets were sold at Aldi in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.
The affected bags have a best before date of February 2023.
“Consumers who have a peanut allergy or intolerance should not consume this product and should return the product to the place of purchase for full refund,” Food Standards Australia said.
Anyone who has additional concerns has been encouraged to contact Aldi.
Aldi's official recall policy states:
"We encourage you to return the product to any ALDI store for a refund. If you do not have your receipt or proof of purchase, the refund will be issued at the last scanned price."
