Mustard ingredients contaminated with peanuts incident

Updated mustard ingredients contaminated with peanuts incident

Last updated: 14 November 2024

Following extensive investigations by Leicester City Council, the enforcing Local Authority, and FGS Ingredients Limited, supported by Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA), as well as checks on supply chains by retailers and manufacturers, FSS and the FSA are assured that actions taken in response to the initial food safety concerns have been addressed. In addition, FSS and the FSA are assured that there is no increased risk to consumers from other mustard products, that have not been supplied by FGS.

FSS and the FSA are now advising people who have a peanut allergy that they can consume food that contains or may contain mustard, mustard powder, mustard seeds or mustard flour, both at home and when eating out. 

We continue to advise food manufacturers and food businesses to review their food supply systems and remove any products that are affected by precautionary recalls from FGS Ingredients Limited.
