The food standards board issued a recall on all batches of 750ml and 50ml Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey Flavored Liqueur this week.

Anyone can return their bottle to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

The offending substance left off the labels is sesame.

Sydney-based Pernod Ricard Winemakers – a subsidiary of a French wine and spirits behemoth – is conducting the recall, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand says in the alert notice.

The 50ml and 750ml bottles have been for sale across the country including at Dan Murphy’s, BWS, independent liquor retailers including IGA, and on-premise outlets.

The presence of sesame in the liquor is not mistakenly stated on the bottle.

Studies say about one in every 250 Australian children has a sesame allergy. However among all Australian adults with any food allergies, about eight per cent have a sesame allergy.

Owners of the peanut butter flavored whiskey in question, Skrewball Spirits, are based in New York.
