Aytac Foods Distribution Limited recalls Darna Tahini because of undeclared peanuts
Why it was recalled
Aytac Foods Distribution is recalling Darna Tahini because it may contain peanuts that are not mentioned on the label. Tahini is made from sesame, but cross-contact with peanuts during production can put traces, or more, into the jar without any warning to the buyer.
Peanut allergy is among the most severe food allergies, and tahini is often stirred through dishes like hummus where its presence is invisible, which raises the stakes of an undeclared peanut risk.
Allergens involved: Peanuts

What this means for you
