Alyan Dubai Style Chocolates Recalled Over Salmonella

September 25, 2026
FSA-PRIN-47-2026-update-1

World of Sweets is recalling two Alyan Dubai Style chocolate products because Salmonella has been found in them. The recall was issued on 24 September 2026 and expanded on 25 September to include Wales and Scotland, alongside England and Northern Ireland.

What’s Affected

ProductPack sizeProduct codeBest before
Alyan Dubai Style Crunchy Knafeh and Pistachio Milk Chocolate100g318591All dates
Alyan Dubai Style Chocolate Truffles120g319456All dates

Every best-before date for these two products is covered. Check the product name and pack size rather than looking for a particular date or batch.

What You Should Do

Do not eat the affected chocolates. Return them to the shop where you bought them for a full refund.

Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. The FSA advises anyone experiencing these symptoms to stay away from work, school or nursery until they have been free of symptoms for at least 48 hours, to help avoid passing the infection to others.

Why This Is More Than an Allergy Alert

Although the product names mention milk and pistachio, the reason for this recall is bacterial contamination. The instruction to stop eating the chocolates applies to every customer, including people without food allergies. The FSA confirms that Salmonella was found in the products; its notice does not identify the ingredient or production stage responsible.

The 25 September update widened the geographical coverage rather than adding a particular best-before date. If you checked an earlier report that covered only England and Northern Ireland, the same two products are now covered in Wales and Scotland too.

Check Chocolates Set Aside for Later

Because all dates are included, there is no newer date code within this notice that clears an affected pack. Check unopened gifts and sharing packs as well as anything already open. If you passed chocolates to someone else, send them the product names, sizes and recall link so they can check their own packaging.

Read the updated official FSA notice for the recall details and any further updates.
