Grape Tree has issued a recall for its Caramel Flavour Coated Raisins after peanuts were found in the product but not declared on the label.
The affected packs are 400g, batch code 252918, with a best before November 2026.
The recall applies across the UK and is being treated as a precautionary safety action.
For anyone with a peanut allergy, consuming this product could pose a serious health risk.
Grape Tree has notified allergy support groups and issued point-of-sale notices to its stores nationwide.
These notices explain the error and guide customers on returning the product for a full refund.
This recall drops into a packaged-food category already facing closer scrutiny this year, something highlighted in our recent look at packaged food brands in supermarkets.
More brands are being asked to show tighter checks, clearer labels and improved allergen-control processes.
Peanut-related recalls remain one of the most common triggers of FSA alerts.
Even small labelling mistakes can require a national recall, forcing retailers and suppliers to move quickly to remove stock and notify consumers.
It also shows how fast UK supermarket suppliers need to respond when issues appear — a pattern reflected in our report on supermarket suppliers UK in 2025.
For retailers, the immediate priority is removing affected stock, updating signage, and protecting shoppers with allergies.
For suppliers, this is another example of how packaging workflows and allergen controls must be monitored from factory to shelf.
A single mislabelling event can disrupt distribution, damage brand trust and create operational pressure across the supply chain.
The company advises customers with peanut allergies not to consume the product under any circumstances.
Shoppers can return the pack to the store for a full refund, with no receipt required.

Food recalls like this have become more visible in the UK grocery market as consumers pay closer attention to ingredient lists, allergen warnings and label clarity.
Retailers and suppliers now face higher expectations around accuracy, transparency and traceability.
The recall also reinforces how vital it is for brands selling through UK supermarkets to maintain updated packaging checks, especially when reformulating products or switching suppliers.
The FSA notes that recalls of this type are issued when there is a direct risk to allergy sufferers, even if only a single ingredient is missing from the label.
In this case, the presence of peanuts — one of the UK’s most common severe allergens — makes the action necessary and urgent.
Customers who have purchased the affected packs are urged to dispose of them safely or return them for a refund.
The product will remain off sale until updated packaging is in place and the allergen declaration is fully corrected across all future batches.
