Praveen Kumar Vegetable Korma Recalled Over Undeclared Nuts

January 19, 2026
FSA-AA-06-2026

Korma is often a nut-based sauce, but the label is supposed to tell you that, and here it doesn't. Swarna Spice Ltd is recalling its Praveen Kumar Vegetable Korma after the product was found to contain almond, cashew and pistachio that aren't declared on the packaging. If you've got a pack in the cupboard and there's a nut allergy in your house, this is one to check tonight.

What's Affected

  • Product: Praveen Kumar Vegetable Korma
  • Pack size: 350g
  • Batch code: 49081225
  • Use-by date: 08 September 2026

Only the one batch is named in this recall. Look on the pack for batch code 49081225 with a use-by of 08 September 2026, and if both match, it's affected.

What You Should Do

If you have an allergy to nuts:

  • Don't eat it. Almond, cashew and pistachio are all tree nuts, and reactions can run from itching and swelling through to full anaphylaxis. With three different nuts in here that aren't on the label, there's no safe way to pick around them.
  • Return it to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
  • Already eaten some? Watch for symptoms like a tingling mouth, hives, swelling of the face or throat, stomach upset, or trouble breathing. For mild signs, get medical advice. 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 korma is safe to eat. This recall is only about the missing allergen declaration, not contamination or spoilage.

The FSA alert doesn't list a direct customer contact for Swarna Spice Ltd. If you need more information, the staff at the shop you bought it from can usually point you to the supplier.

Why "Vegetable" Doesn't Mean "Nut-Free"

It's easy to read "Vegetable Korma" and assume a nut allergy is no problem. But korma sauces lean heavily on ground nuts and nut pastes for that creamy, mild finish, so the vegetable in the name only tells you what isn't meat. The whole point of allergen labelling is to flag the nuts that the recipe quietly relies on, and when that slips, a dish that should be off-limits looks perfectly safe on the shelf. If you or someone you cook for avoids nuts, the FSA alerts page is the best place to stay ahead of recalls like this one.
