London Wholesalers Ltd has issued a product recall for BOSS Sugar Free Persian Pistachio Nougat after Salmonella was found in the product.
The recall applies to England and Northern Ireland and has been published under an official Product Recall Information Notice by the Food Standards Agency.
The affected product is sold in a 300g pack, with batch code 140408 and a best-before date of 9 September 2027.
According to the notice, the presence of Salmonella makes the product unsafe to eat.
Salmonella can cause symptoms including fever, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps. Consumers experiencing symptoms are advised to avoid work, school, or nursery until at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped, to reduce the risk of spreading infection.
Action Taken By The Company
London Wholesalers Ltd has confirmed it is recalling the affected batch from the market.
Point-of-sale notices are being displayed in stores where the product was sold. These notices explain why the product is being recalled and provide guidance for customers who may have purchased it.
The company has asked customers not to consume the product.
Consumers should return the nougat to the store where it was purchased to receive a full refund, even without a receipt.
For further information, London Wholesalers Ltd has provided direct contact details via telephone and email.
Why It Matters
Product recalls remain a key compliance issue across the UK FMCG supply chain.
For retailers and wholesalers, recalls like this require fast action to remove affected stock, notify stores, and manage consumer communication. They also highlight the importance of traceability at batch level, especially for packaged confectionery products distributed through UK supermarket and wholesale retail channels.
While this recall is limited to the UK market, it reflects how food safety enforcement works across the FMCG sector, where batch tracking, recall notices, and close coordination between suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers are central to protecting consumers.
The Food Standards Agency issues Product Recall Information Notices when a food product should not be sold and must either be withdrawn from sale or returned by customers. In more serious cases, a Food Alert for Action may be issued to local authorities.
In this case, the FSA has confirmed the recall under reference FSA-PRIN-54-2025.
