The agency has confirmed that the company, which is based in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, has removed certain batches of the item from retail outlets.
The Food Standards Agency is telling shoppers: “If you have bought the above product do not eat it.
“Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.”
They added: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
“The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
“In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.
“This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.”
An online description of the product, which comes in 230g containers, reads: “Made in small batches from the highest quality roasted cashews and hazelnuts, ground with cacao.
“Perfect for sandwiches, smoothies, puddings and baking.”
