The warning affects all 95g packs of the chocolate.
A spokesman for the FSA said: 'This product contains peanuts making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.
'We are working closely with relevant enforcement authorities to progress investigations and ensure affected products are withdrawn from the market and, where sold at retail, recalled. We are informing allergy organisations of the issue.
'Don't buy this product, and if you have bought it, don't eat it, especially if you have a peanut allergy.
'Dispose of the product at home and get in touch with your local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland, to let them know where you purchased it.
'Food businesses selling Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate in the UK, manufactured by NEOSIS, Gida ve Unlu Mam Ltd, are advised to immediately stop sales and to undertake product withdrawals, and where there have been retail sales, to undertake product recalls.
'This is because the product presents a serious risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts.
'Businesses have been supplied these products by a company called Black Sea Trading Ltd, who have so far been uncontactable.
'As a result, food safety action is required by the food businesses selling these products.'
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If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).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 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 action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
