Are you at risk? Shocking allergen fears spark nationwide peanut butter whiskey recall!
- Replies 0
For many over 60, enjoying a tipple is one of life's little pleasures.
Whether it's a glass of wine with dinner or a whiskey on the rocks to cap off the evening, these moments of indulgence are a cherished part of our routine.
However, a recent recall has shaken up the liquor cabinet, particularly for those partial to a unique twist on a classic spirit.
Peanut butter whiskey liqueur, a novel concoction that has gained popularity for its sweet and savoury notes reminiscent of a hearty breakfast spread, has been the subject of a nationwide recall.
The reason? An unexpected allergen that could pose a severe health risk to some individuals.
The product in question is the Screwball liqueur, produced by Pernod Ricard Winemakers.
It has been discovered that the 750ml and 50ml bottles may contain sesame, an allergen not declared on some of the bottles.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand identified this oversight, prompting an urgent recall notice.
The recall is specific to those bottles lacking the proper allergen declaration.
For those with a sesame allergy, the consequences of consuming a product containing this allergen could be dangerous, making this recall a matter of significant concern.
The Screwball liqueur has been available through various retailers across the country, including well-known outlets such as Dan Murphys, BWS, and IGA.
This widespread distribution means that many Australians could potentially be affected by the recall.
‘Consumers should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund,’ FSANZ said in the recall notice.
‘Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.’
For additional information, Pernod Ricard Winemakers has provided a contact number (1300 363 153) for consumers to reach out with questions or concerns.
