Gü Indulgent Foods is recalling its Gü Blonde Chocolate Cheesecakes because it has been mispacked with a cheesecake that contains hazelnuts (nuts) which are not mentioned on the label.
The affected batch is those with a pack size of 2 x 82g, with the batch code 226044 and use by date of March 12, 2026.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned as the product may contain hazelnuts, this makes it a “possible health risk” for anyone with an allergy to hazelnuts (nuts).
Food Recalls Explained
It advises consumers: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to hazelnuts (nuts) do not eat it.
“Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
“No receipt required. For more information, please contact recall@gupuds.com.”
Gü Blonde Chocolate Cheesecakes are just one of the Gü sweet treats currently sold at Asda for £2.50.
The cheesecake is made with blonde chocolate caramel crème, layered over silky-smooth blonde chocolate cheesecake, followed by “another luscious layer” of blonde chocolate crème, on a crumbly, crunchy biscuit base.
Fred Ponnavoy, master patisserie chef commented about the Gü cheesecake creation: “We’ve given chocolate the golden touch, using blonde chocolate in three of the layers – almost 14% chocolate content, giving it a very creamy texture.

“We also added Guérande salt to enhance the caramelised notes in the chocolate.”
What is a food allergy alert by the FSA?
For those who are not aware of FSA allergy alerts, the government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food, explains: “Sometimes there will be 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“Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
Recommended reading:
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
