Krispy Kreme has recalled two doughnut products due to undeclared hazelnuts, which may pose a serious allergy risk.

Krispy Kreme is recalling its Individual Pitch Perfect Doughnut with best before dates of 21 and 22 June 2026, and its Match Day Dozen 12-pack with the same best before dates, because they may contain hazelnuts (nuts) which are not mentioned on the label.

Covering England only, both products have been withdrawn from sale because the potential presence of hazelnuts poses a health risk to anyone with an allergy to the ingredient.

In its recall notice, the American firm said: “Affected products were sold in stores supplied from our Peterborough doughnut site.

“Items purchased from our other Krispy Kreme stores are not affected.”

The company is advising customers who have bought the products and have an allergy to hazelnuts to return them to the store from which they were purchased for a full refund, with no receipt required.
