Allergy Advice Lifted. The FSA and FSS have confirmed that all necessary food safety measures have been put in place and affected products have been removed from sale following an investigation into mustard products being contaminated with peanuts. As a result, we have lifted the precautionary advice to people with a peanut allergy to avoid eating foods that contain or may contain mustard, mustard powder, mustard seeds or mustard flour both in the home and when eating out as these products are now safe to eat. People with a peanut allergy should continue to avoid products that are listed in the allergy alerts. Consumers and businesses are urged to check whether they still have any of the affected products listed and if so, they should follow the advice in the alerts. For more information and advice, please read our news story: https://lnkd.in/eeVNZ-ke Mae’r cyngor ar alergenau wedi’i lacio. Mae’r ASB ac FSS wedi cadarnhau bod yr holl fesurau diogelwch bwyd angenrheidiol wedi’u rhoi ar waith, a bod y cynhyrchion yr effeithiwyd arnynt wedi’u tynnu oddi ar y farchnad yn dilyn ymchwiliad i gynhyrchion mwstard wedi’u halogi â physgnau. O ganlyniad, rydym wedi llacio ein cyngor rhagofalus i bobl ag alergedd i bysgnau i osgoi bwydydd sy’n cynnwys neu a allai gynnwys mwstard, powdr mwstard, hadau mwstard neu flawd mwstard yn y cartref, ac wrth fwyta allan, gan fod y cynhyrchion hyn bellach yn ddiogel i’w bwyta. Dylai pobl ag alergedd i bysgnau barhau i osgoi cynhyrchion sydd wedi’u rhestru yn y rhybuddion alergedd. Rydym yn annog defnyddwyr a busnesau i wirio a oes ganddynt unrhyw rai o’r cynhyrchion dan sylw yr effeithiwyd arnynt ac os felly, dylent ddilyn y cyngor yn y rhybuddion.
