Food safety fears after Slimfast bars packed incorrectly

Ireland’s food safety watchdog has issued an allergen warning that some Slimfast meal bars may have been packed in incorrectly labelled boxes.

The warning from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland yesterday followed the recall by Unilever of three varieties of Slimfast Meal Bars.

Quality checks revealed some bars had been packed into incorrect boxes and the allergen information on the boxes about peanut, wheat, oats, and gluten may not match the product. This could be a health hazard for anyone with a food allergy or intolerance.
