Recall Announcement
On March 3, 2026, Costco Canada issued a recall for several lots of Delici Dubai Chocolate Mousse. This action was taken after the manufacturer, Mellow Food, alerted the public about the potential presence of undeclared allergens in the product. Specifically, the mousse may contain cashew nuts and macadamia nuts, which are not listed on the packaging. This oversight poses a significant health risk for individuals with allergies to these nuts.
Health Risks
The undeclared allergens can lead to severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. As a result, customers who are allergic to cashew or macadamia nuts are strongly advised not to consume the mousse. The recall is a critical measure to ensure consumer safety, as these allergens can trigger serious health complications.

The recalled Delici Dubai Chocolate Mousse has a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 812190020825 and includes multiple lots with best-before dates ranging from February 27, 2026, to March 27, 2026. Customers who have purchased this product are encouraged to check their supplies against the recall notice.
Customer Guidance
Costco Canada has provided clear instructions for affected customers. Those who have the mousse in their possession can return it to any Costco Warehouse for a full refund. This policy aims to alleviate any concerns and ensure that customers are not left with potentially harmful products.
Manufacturer’s Statement
