Why it matters. Peanut allergy is a frequent cause of severe allergic reactions. Even a small amount can trigger symptoms in some people.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- an itchy, tingling mouth
- a raised itchy rash (hives)
- swelling of the lips, face or eyes
- stomach pain or being sick
Get help urgently
- swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing, feeling faint, or collapse — use an adrenaline auto-injector if you have one and call 999, saying it is anaphylaxis
This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.
Getting your money back
Recalled food can be returned to the shop it came from for a full refund. Supermarkets and most independent shops do this without a receipt, because the recall applies to the product, not to your purchase.
If you bought it online or on a delivery, contact the retailer through your account or customer services and tell them the product is under an FSA recall.
