The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has blasted Dubai-style chocolates, urging allergy sufferers to stay well clear. The warning follows revelations that many of these popular treats fail to meet vital food safety and labelling standards.
Dangerous Allergens Hidden
The FSA flagged concerns earlier this year about unclear or missing allergen info on these products. Now, they have confirmed some chocolates contain hidden peanuts and sesame – common allergens that are not declared on packaging.

Rebecca Sudworth, FSA’s Director of Policy, warned: “Dubai-style chocolate has become hugely popular, but we’ve found some contain peanut and sesame not declared on the label. For someone with allergies, this could be dangerous.”
For now, if you or a loved one suffer from allergies, think twice before digging into Dubai-style chocolate this Christmas. It could be your last sweet treat.
