Godiva Kunafah & Pistachio Chocolate Bar Recalled in Saudi Arabia Over Allergen Risk
The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has issued a voluntary recall for the "GODIVA Kunafah & Pistachio Milk Chocolate Bar" after it was discovered that the product contains egg, an allergen not mentioned on the packaging label. This oversight poses a significant health risk to consumers with egg sensitivities, especially children, prompting Pladis Arabia Food Manufacturing Company to pull the 35g Belgian-made bars from store shelves.
The SFDA is actively overseeing the removal of these specific batches from the market and has strongly cautioned anyone with an egg allergy to avoid consuming the product. While the authority noted that voluntary recalls are standard practice to maintain public safety, they emphasized that the manufacturer remains legally accountable for any potential health damages caused by the mislabeling. Concerned citizens are encouraged to report any issues or seek further information by contacting the SFDA’s Unified Call Centre at 19999.
