In a recent food safety warning, Costco Canada has recalled a popular dessert product sold in their stores across the country due to undeclared allergens that could pose a serious health risk to individuals with nut allergies. The recall is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of consumers who may have purchased the product without realizing that it contains cashew and macadamia nuts allergens not listed on the label.

The dessert in question is the Delici Dubai Style chocolate mousse, a product made by Mellow Food and sold at Costco Canada locations. Although the mousse is marketed as a luxury dessert, the presence of nuts creates a risk for those with nut allergies who may unknowingly consume it. The recall applies nationwide in Canada, and affected products include mousse cups with best-before dates from February 27, 2026, to March 27, 2026.

Which Dessert Is Being Recalled?

The affected product is the Delici Dubai Style chocolate mousse, distributed by Mellow Food. This mousse, which comes in individual servings, was sold exclusively at Costco Canada locations. It was recalled after health authorities discovered the presence of cashew nuts and macadamia nuts, which were not listed as ingredients on the packaging.

  • Product Name: Delici Dubai Style chocolate mousse

  • UPC Code: 812190020825

  • Best-Before Dates: February 27, 2026, to March 27, 2026

  • Allergen Risk: Cashew and macadamia nuts (undeclared)

These undeclared allergens pose a serious risk to consumers with nut allergies, including those who may suffer from severe reactions such as anaphylaxis. Health authorities urge anyone who has purchased the product to stop consuming it immediately and return it to Costco for a full refund. 

Why Was the Dessert Recalled?

The recall was issued due to the undeclared presence of cashew and macadamia nuts in the dessert, which can be life-threatening for individuals with allergies to these nuts. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the presence of these allergens was not mentioned on the product label, violating food safety guidelines that require accurate labeling of ingredients. This type of error could potentially cause severe allergic reactions for people who are allergic to nuts but unaware of the presence of these allergens in the mousse.

List of States and Cities Affected by the Recall

The recall applies nationwide in Canada, where Costco warehouses sell the product. While specific states or cities have not been singled out in the recall announcement, the product was available at all Costco locations across Canada. Therefore, any Costco store in Canada where the Delici Dubai Style chocolate mousse was sold is affected by this recall.

Costco members who purchased this product are advised to check the best-before dates and UPC code to confirm whether they have the affected product. If they do, they should return it to Costco for a full refund. A list of specific Costco locations where the product was sold may not be available, but customers can contact Costco customer service or visit the store for assistance.
