Several batches of garlic and spice powder are being recalled because their packaging does not mention that the products contain peanuts.

Damasgate Wholesale is recalling 12 batches of Sofra Garlic Powder, while Safa Food 1 Limited is recalling one batch of Dolma Spices because of undeclared peanuts.

The omission of this information means that the products pose a possibly serious health risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts.

All 12 batches of garlic powder are sold in 100g bags, with best before dates ranging from January 2026 to July 2026.

Packs featuring any of following lot numbers have been recalled: 200724, 010924, 240125, 080225, 150924, 011024, 151024, 011124, 111124, 201124, 011224 and 010125.

Meanwhile, a separate recall applies to 100g packs of Dolma Spices with a 210624 batch code and June 2026 best before date.

Damasgate Wholesale and Safa Food have both been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recalls.

The companies have also issued point of sale notices which explain to customers why the recall has been announced and advise anyone with a peanut allergy not to consume the products involved in the recall.

Customers can return the products for a full refund at the store where they made the purchase.

“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of our customers,” the Safa Food recall notices read.

Safa Food is a London-based wholesaler of a variety of products including frozen and dry food, drinks, confectionery, spices, nuts, pules and pickles, while Damasgate Wholesale is a leading supplier of Mediterranean food to UK retailers.
