Peanut butter whiskey whisked off shelves for urgent allergen recall

The liquor sold across Australia has been urgently recalled because of undeclared allergy concerns.

A peanut butter whiskey sold at major retailers in Australia has been pulled from shelves as the manufacturers forgot to list a common allergen on the label.

The food standards board issued a recall on all batches of 750ml and 50ml Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey Flavoured Liqueur this week.

Anyone can return their bottle to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

The offending substance left off the labels is sesame.

Sydney-based Pernod Ricard Winemakers - a subsidiary of a French wine and spirits behemoth - is conducting the recall, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand says in the alert notice.

The 50ml and 750ml bottles have been for sale across the country including at Dan Murphy’s, BWS, independent liquor retailers including IGA, and on-premise outlets.

The presence of sesame in the liquor is not mistakenly stated on the bottle.

Studies say about one in every 250 Australian children has a sesame allergy. However among all Australian adults with any food allergies, about eight per cent have a sesame allergy.

Owners of the peanut butter flavoured whiskey in question, Skrewball Spirits, are based in New York.
