Booths, a UK based grocery chain, has removed 300 packets of its Whole Hearted Roasted Monkey Nuts from shelves after failing to declare they may contain peanuts.
The Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert in relation to the nuts, saying that the presence of peanuts had not been declared on the packets. They said “although the packaging was transparent allowing customers to see what was inside, the supermarket had failed to identify peanuts as an allergen on the labels” and that “legislation requires food labels to carry information about any allergens it may contain”. An easy win for the FSA?
In a statement Booths said they have “identified the labelling error and issued a warning to customers”.
You may think it is already obvious that monkey nuts may contain peanuts. But obvious or not, this issue was enough to warrant the product’s removal, and serves as a reminder of the need to consider both hidden and obvious issues when packaging your products.

Ann Summers is the latest retailer to have entered into new voluntary deals with the majority of their landlords, rather than using the CVA process.
We previously reported on the High Court decision of S Franses Ltd v The Cavendish Hotel (London) Ltd in which it was held that a landlord’s motive could not prevent it from successfully utilising ‘ground (f)’ under s30(1) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 to oppose a lease renewal.
The FCA are encouraged to find that the implementation of the new rules has encouraged financial institutions to manage whistleblowing cases and concerns fairly, consistently and in a manner that protects the individual whistleblower.
