Gü Indulgent Foods is initiating a recall for its popular Gü Blonde Chocolate Cheesecake.

This poses a significant risk to consumers with hazelnut allergies.
The specific product affected is the two-pack Gü Blonde Chocolate Cheesecake (82g) bearing the batch code 226044 and a use-by date of March 12, 2026. The company is actively recalling the product from customers and has notified allergy support organizations to disseminate information to their members.

Hazelnut allergy is a common concern in the UK, being one of the top triggers for food-allergic reactions. While manageable for many, severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur, necessitating the carrying of an adrenaline auto-injector for those with primary hazelnut allergies. This recall highlights the critical importance of accurate food allergy labelling.
