Coles supermarkets have issued a product recall on their name-brand peanut butter - both the smooth and crunchy varieties in the 1kg jars. Customers who have purchased Coles 1kg Smooth Peanut Butter and/or Coles 1kg Crunchy Peanut Butter are advised not to eat the product and instead return it to the store where they purchased it.
The reason for the recall is potential aflatoxin contamination. Food products containing aflatoxin may cause illness/injury if consumed.
Aflatoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain moulds that can grow on food crops in warm, humid environments. Health risks associated with consuming contaminated products include liver damage and immune system suppression. Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice.
The two varieties of Coles peanut butter, which have been available for sale in Coles Supermarkets and online nationally, sell for $6.50.
If you purchased the peanut butter online instead of in a store, you can receive a refund or credit by contacting Coles Online Customer Care on 1800 455 400.
The peanut butter recall comes after another major food recall was issued last week by Choco Bliss who conducted a recall on their Dubai Chocolate 200g.
The popular treat was recalled due to it not including a warning for allergens, including pistachio, milk, sesame seed, and wheat, which may lead to allergic reactions in consumers if consumed.
The product was available to purchase in Westfield locations in Queensland and includes all date markings up to and including January 2026.
"Consumers who have a pistachio, milk, sesame seed or wheat allergy or intolerance should not consume this product," Food Standards says of the recall. "Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice."
Consumers can contact Choco Bliss on 0411426511 or [e-mail] with any concerns.
