An urgent warning has been issued to shoppers after a popular curry sauce sold in supermarkets across the country was recalled over over concerns it could pose a serious health risk to some customers.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced this week that a recall notice has been issued for the popular Goldfish Brand Hot & Spicy Curry Sauce Concentrate which is sold in a number of retailers around Ireland, including Tesco and SuperValu.
According to the food safety watchdog, certain batches of the popular curry sauce product has been pulled from shelves as they have been found to contain peanuts, an allergen that is not listed on the packaging. This could be dangerous for anyone with peanut allergies or intolerances.
“Almond and peanut were detected in the above batch of Goldfish Brand Hot & Spicy Curry Sauce Concentrate, however they are not declared in the list of ingredients,” the FSAI said in a statement.

“In addition, the label states that the product is ‘Made in a nut free factory.’ This may make the batch unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of almonds and/or peanuts and therefore, these consumers should not eat the implicated batch. The affected batch is being recalled.”
The recall has been issued for batches of 405 gram Goldfish Brand Hot & Spicy Curry Sauce Concentrate with a best before date of ‘end Dec 2026’ and a batch code of ‘24353 D10 20103 1253’.
Consumers who are allergic or sensitive to peanuts are being urged to check their cupboards for these affected batches. The presence of peanuts, even in small amounts, can trigger serious allergic reactions, ranging from mild discomfort to potentially life-threatening conditions.
In Ireland, peanut is one of the most common food allergies in childhood and it persists in 80% of cases. According to Mayo Clinic, when someone with a peanut allergy consumes peanuts, symptoms can happen quickly and may include:
- Skin reactions, such as hives, redness or swelling.
- Itching or tingling in or around the mouth and throat.
- Digestive problems, such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea or vomiting.
- Tightening of the throat.
- Shortness of breath or wheezing.
- Runny nose
For those who experience anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, symptoms may include:
- Constriction of airways.
- Swelling of the lips, tongue and throat that makes it hard to breathe.
- A severe drop in blood pressure, also known as shock.
- Rapid pulse.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness
Shoppers who are allergic to or intolerant of peanuts and have purchased one of the affected batches are advised to not consume the product and return it to the store for a refund.
