This is a Public Information posting - Product Withdrawal : The withdrawn product is Booths Whole Hearted Roasted Monkey Nuts, 350g, best before July 12, 2013.

‘Customers with an allergy to peanuts are advised not to eat this product but to return it to the nearest EH Booths store for a full refund.

 'The reason for the withdrawal is that the packaging does not state the product contains peanuts, which is a specific allergen that’s listed in legislation.'
 

'The product’s packaging is transparent, but the nuts are still in the shells i.e. sold as monkey nuts rather than specifically as peanuts.'

Supermarket forced to pull packets of Whole Hearted Roasted Monkey Nuts from the shelves...because nuts aren't listed as ingredient

With variants on that headline appearing across the UK MSM - and overseas - we must surely conclude that notwithstanding the potential seriousness it is also considered pretty damn funny.  Or a cause to cry.  If only I knew how to run a "poll".
