Domino’s Pizza has urgently withdrawn two of its popular dipping sauces after contaminated batches sparked allergy concerns
The pizza chain is advising customers with allergies to dispose of both Garlic & Herb and Honey & Mustard dips after one of their customer complained of an “itchy mouth”.
According to Sky News, the customer posted online that they had noticed irritations in their mouth after consuming one of the dips at the weekend.
An recent email to customers advised that both 100g pots and the smaller 25g pots that come with pizzas could potentially be contaminated.
The email reads: “At Domino’s Pizza, the quality of our products and the safety of our customers is the highest priority, particularly when it comes to allergens.
“We have become aware that some of our Garlic and Herb dip and Honey and Mustard dip may contain traces of peanut.
“If you do have a peanut allergy, please dispose of the dips and do not consume them. If you do not have a peanut allergy, no further action is required.
“We are sorry for any concern and inconvenience this issue may cause.”
A spokesperson for Domino’s said: “At the weekend, we discovered that some batches of Domino’s Pizza Garlic & Herb and Honey & Mustard dips contained traces of peanut which could pose a risk for people with peanut allergies.
“We have withdrawn all these dips from sale, and ask any customers who have people in their household with peanut allergies not to consume and instead dispose of any of these dips that they have at home.
“Domino’s takes food safety very seriously and we are working urgently with our supplier to understand how this happened and ensure it doesn’t happen again.
“There will be disruption to the supply of dips in the coming days while we wait for new supplies to arrive and appreciate customers’ understanding during this time.”
