Damasgate Wholesale has issued an urgent recall for its Sofra Potato Chips Seasoning due to a serious safety concern. The 100g packs contain peanuts that aren’t listed on the label, creating a potentially life-threatening situation for people with peanut allergies.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has classified this as a “do not eat” warning, affecting all lot numbers and best before dates of the product. This follows a previous recall of Sofra Garlic Powder, which was also recalled due to undeclared peanuts.
“This product contains peanuts making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts,” states the official FSA alert issued on April 23, 2025.
People with peanut allergies face serious risks from consuming undeclared allergens. Reactions can range from mild symptoms like hives and itching to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis, which can cause breathing difficulties, drops in blood pressure, and loss of consciousness.
