Dunhills withdraws Haribo’s Pasta Basta
Dunhills (Pontefract) Plc has withdrawn all batches of Haribo’s Pasta Basta, Apple flavour and Strawberry flavour (15g) confectionery, because of the presence of wheat gluten not shown on the label, making these products unsafe for people who are allergic or intolerant to wheat or wheat products. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
The product contains wheat gluten, but because these products were labelled for the Spanish market, there is no ingredients list in English. People who are allergic to wheat or wheat products are advised not to eat these products.

Allergy alerts
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy Alerts are issued.
Subscribing is a two-stage process. First of all, click on the link below. Click ‘Subscribe’ and insert your email address before submitting your request. Then we’ll send you an email asking you to confirm by clicking on a link. This is to protect you against getting unwanted emails.
If you no longer wish to subscribe to email alerts, simply repeat the process but click on ‘Unsubscribe’ instead. Again, we’ll send you an email asking you to confirm the request. This is to prevent you being unsubscribed by someone else.
