Domino’s Garlic & Herb dips have begun appearing on online auction site eBay for as much as £100.
The beloved dips were withdrawn from sale over allergy concerns last week, after traces of peanut were found in batches of both the Garlic & Herb and Honey & Mustard dips.
As a result of the undeclared allergen, they were considered to pose a health risk to customers.
A Food Standards Agency spokesman said: “FGS Ingredients Ltd is recalling the above products and have been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
Wednesday 25 September: Update 6: FGS Ingredients Ltd recalls a number of products containing mustard powder because of undeclared peanuts. This recall has been extended to include additional products identified with a double asterisk by ** #FoodAllergy https://t.co/5HxoOAzb4m pic.twitter.com/3ROvVUkj9m

“These products are sold under several different brand names at several different retail stores.
“Point of sale notices will be displayed where the products were sold.
“These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products.
“If you have bought any of the above products and have an allergy to peanuts, do not eat them.”
With the Garlic & Herb dip still not available on the Domino’s website, portions of the dip have now begun to appear on eBay, with some listed for as much as £100.
What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
