The Food Standards Agency had told people with a peanut allergy to avoid eating products containing mustard as they may have been contaminated.
A food company affected by an allergy alert over contaminated mustard ingredients has said that no peanuts have been detected in its products.
On Saturday a spokesman for FGS Ingredients, the natural spices supplier, said: “Samples of our ingredients are always routinely tested before they leave our premises, as is good standard industry practice, and had shown no reasons for concern. Mustard ingredients can be found in food such as dips, sauces, salads and pre-packed sandwiches Such mustard products could contain traces of peanut, potentially causing severe reactions for those with an allergy, the FSA said as it began urgently working with the relevant local authorities, individual businesses and industry to identify which products may be affected.
FGS Ingredients Ltd, then advised customers to remove from sale products containing the contaminated mustard ingredients.
