Domino’s halts sales of Garlic and Herb dip following announcement it may contain nuts

Domino’s has paused sales of its Garlic and Herb dip across the UK after it issued a warning saying it may contain traces of nuts.

In an email to customers, the company asked those with peanut allergies to throw out the dips and not eat them.

This is because Domino’s believes that a mixup between the Garlic and Herb and Honey and Mustard dips led to a potential trace of nuts in the sauce, with both the 100g and the 25g sized pots being affected.

One university affected by the potential contamination is the University of Lincoln. Its Students’ Union had to warn people of the recall on 15th September after it handed out Domino’s goodie bags to students which may have contained the Garlic and Herb dip.

Lincoln SU posted: “Domino’s has just informed us of an urgent recall concerning the Garlic and Herb Dip that may have been included in the goodie bags distributed by the Students’ Union.

“If you do have a peanut allergy, do not consume this product. The supplier has indicated that the dip may contain traces of nuts.”

A Domino’s spokesperson spoke to ITV News about how the contamination occurred. They said: “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.”

The pizza company has apologised to customers, and recommended that customers with queries get in touch via its contact form.
