What’s happened
We’ve discovered a small number of packs of our ASDA Organic Mixed Nuts 200g have peanuts in them and they shouldn’t.

Whilst we do warn customers on pack that this product ‘may contain traces of other nuts and seeds’, peanuts aren’t included in the list of ingredients as they’re not usually in this product.

This is a potential allergy risk for customers who may be sensitive to peanuts.

What should you do
If you have bought Asda Organic Mixed Nuts 200g with this date code, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and will ensure this doesn’t happen again.
