This week: ALDI recalls Dairyfine Salted Caramel Filled Gonks over peanut risk — what you need to know

Supermarket giant Aldi has urgently recalled a popular sweet treat after it was discovered the product may contain undeclared peanuts — a serious risk for people with nut allergies. The affected item is the Dairyfine Salted Caramel Filled Gonks, sold in 90 g bags. The recall covers all batch codes and best‑before dates. Food Standards Agency+1

The recall was issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on 28 November 2025 and updated 1 December. According to the FSA alert, the product “may contain peanuts,” meaning anyone with a peanut allergy — or those who avoid nuts as a precaution — should not eat this snack. Food Standards Agency

Aldi has been instructed to remove the item from sale and to inform relevant allergy‑support organisations, with point‑of‑sale notices posted in–store to alert customers. The supermarket is offering a full refund to shoppers who purchased the affected packets. Food Standards Agency+1

If you bought this product — or know someone who did — and have an allergy to peanuts, do not eat it. Instead, return the bag to any Aldi store for a refund, or contact Aldi Customer Services for guidance. Food Standards Agency

This recall is a reminder of how important it is to check food labels carefully — especially for products with fillings or multiple ingredients. The FSA recommends that anyone with a nut allergy remain vigilant, and always follow recall notices. Food Standards Agency+1
