Britain’s food safety chiefs are sounding the alarm over Dubai-style chocolate and warning that some people should not eat it, Sky News reports.
The treat typically contains a filling made of pistachio, tahini, and shredded filo pastry, and has soared in popularity over the past year.
But the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said it had found ‘several’ of these products in the UK which failed to meet safety and labelling requirements.
Rebecca Sudworth, FSA director of policy, said: "We've found that some products contain peanut and sesame that aren't declared on the label."
It would therefore be ‘dangerous’ for consumers with allergies to buy the bars, the organisation said.
The watchdog says it is currently reviewing sampling data from products on sale to check whether they meet food safety standards.
But until its full results are known, the body is advising consumers with allergies to avoid Dubai-style chocolate as a precaution.
