Forest Feast Belgian Milk Chocolate Raisins Recalled Over Undeclared Peanuts and Nuts

January 16, 2026
FSA-AA-05-2026

A 1kg tub of chocolate raisins is the sort of thing that gets passed round a room without a second thought, which is precisely why this one matters. Kestrel Foods is recalling its Forest Feast Belgian Milk Chocolate Raisins, sold at Costco, after the product was found to contain peanuts and nuts that aren't declared on the label. If anyone in your house has a peanut or tree nut allergy, this is one to pull out of the cupboard now.

What's Affected

  • Product: Forest Feast Belgian Milk Chocolate Raisins
  • Pack size: 1kg
  • Batch codes: 5344136460, 5345136460 and 5346136460
  • Best before: 31 December 2026

These were sold at Costco. Check the batch code and the best before date printed on the pack, if it matches any of the three batches above with a best before of 31 December 2026, it's part of the recall.

What You Should Do

If you have a peanut or nut allergy:

  • Don't eat it. Peanut and tree nut allergies are among the most likely to trigger severe, fast-moving reactions, and a chocolate raisin tub gives you no reason to suspect nuts are even in there.
  • Return it to Costco where you bought it for a full refund.
  • Already eaten some? Watch for itching, swelling around the mouth or throat, hives, stomach cramps, or any tightness in the chest or trouble breathing. For a severe reaction, use your adrenaline auto-injector if you carry one and call 999 straight away.
  • No nut allergy in the household? The product is safe to eat. The recall is only about the missing allergen warning on the label, not about anything being wrong with the chocolate or raisins themselves.

Costco stores are the point of contact for returns and refunds on this one.

Why a Shared Tub Raises the Stakes

A 1kg pack isn't a personal snack, it's the kind of thing that sits open on a desk, gets handed round at a family gathering, or ends up in a party bowl. That changes who's exposed. The person with the allergy often isn't the one who bought it and may never see the label at all, they just take a handful from a bowl. Cross-contact with peanuts and tree nuts is common in confectionery that's made on shared lines, so the label is the only safeguard a shopper has, and here it didn't carry the warning. If you buy in bulk from Costco or pick up sharing snacks for others, the FSA alerts page is the most reliable place to stay on top of what's been recalled.
