Urgent ‘do not eat' warning issued as viral Dubai-style chocolate bar recalled

Yahoo16-07-2025
A viral chocolate bar inspired by the 'Dubai chocolate' trend has been urgently recalled over a health risk it poses to customers.
The Noesis Schokolade Love of Dubai bar should not be bought or eaten, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said, especially by those with a peanut allergy.
Although it is not marked on the list of ingredients, the chocolate bar contains peanuts, the FSA explains. This means it poses a 'serious risk' to those with allergies to the nut.
The agency adds that it has been unable to contact the manufacturer of the products, Black Sea Trading Ltd, and so is calling on distributors to pull the Noesis bar from shelves.
Every single 95g bar of Noesis Schokolade Love of Dubai has been included in the recall (Noesis)
Advice from the FSA reads: 'Don't buy this product, and if you have bought it, don't eat it, especially if you have a peanut allergy.
'Dispose of the product at home and get in touch with your local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland, to let them know where you purchased it.'
The 'Love of Dubai' chocolate bar is inspired by a viral food trend that arose in 2024 and has continued. It centres around chocolate bars with a creamy pistachio filling, first created by a chocolatier in Dubai.
Receiving millions of views on social media platform TikTok, the popularity of the bar has grown so intense that the price of pistachio kernels globally has been pushed up. Experts say that, in the year to April, prices rose from $7.65 to $10.30 a pound.
Last week, the FSA issued a related warning over the proliferation of imported Dubai chocolate bars for sale in the UK.
A detailed picture of the recalled bar has been provided by the food watchdog (Food Standards Agency (FSA))
The agency said that some of these products were likely to not include a full ingredients list or allergen labelling, due to not being originally intended for sale in the UK.
The bars could also contain additives and colours not allowed on the UK market, it added.
Experts from the watchdog are currently surveying and sampling the products to determine the scale of the issue, and working with allergy charities to raise awareness.
Professor Robin May, chief scientific adviser to the FSA, said that the 'vast majority of food in the UK is safe, but some imported Dubai-style chocolate products don't meet our standards and could be a food safety risk, especially for consumers with allergies'
'If you are looking to buy Dubai-style chocolate, we advise sticking with trusted retailers, like the ones you'd use for your weekly shop, as products are more likely to be made for UK consumers and so are safe to eat.
'UK law requires food labels to highlight any of 14 allergens present in the product, but some imported products may not do this. You can find more information on food.gov.uk.'

Hamptons housing crunch forcing even wealthy buyers to settle for less-glamorous LI spot — where sales are surging

The North Fork doesn't want to be the Hamptons 2.0, but the area's record-setting sales say otherwise. The 30-mile-long Long Island peninsula enjoyed another historically high season for home sales last quarter. The North Fork earned a median sale price of $1.09 million between April and June, according to a new report by Miller Samuel for Douglas Elliman. That's a 13% jump from last spring.

Stefano Giovannini 5 The peninsula spans 30 miles along the eastern end of Long Island. Bf2002/Wikimedia Commons Advertisement This marks the region's third record-high quarter within the last year. Todd Bourgard, Douglas Elliman's CEO of Long Island, Hamptons and North Fork, told The Post that his agents are reporting lightning-fast listings that earn multiple bids on million-dollar price tags. Deep-pocketed buyers are making all-cash offers and agreeing to forgo contingencies, like home inspections. Perhaps it's time for the Surf Lodge to open up a North Fork location. Strong luxury home sales and dwindling inventory in the Hamptons are sending wealthy buyers to North Fork, The Real Deal reported. Advertisement 5 The North Fork offers a slower-paced lifestyle than the Hamptons, but less housing inventory. Stefano Giovannini The local uptick in prices charts with excess demand in the Hamptons, report author Jonathan Miller told the outlet. Would-be Hamptons buyers with money to spend are trading Southampton for Southold and Montauk for Mattituck. But Bourgard said that lifestyles in the two regions remain distinct. Essentially, people who want the North Fork want to live there precisely because it's the North Fork. 'North Fork is now, and always has been, a beautiful place to live,' Bourgard said. 'People are discovering it more and more every single day. We're certainly seeing the prices going up, because, like everywhere else, it lacks inventory.' Advertisement Listing inventory in the North Fork consequently declined 43% from last spring. 5 Homes in the North Fork are getting more expensive and, according to some locals, more Hamptons-like. Izanbar photos – Massive Hamptons-style homes and similarly posh crowds began to overtake the quiet community in the wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, locals told The Post in 2022. Thanks to the continued interest of the well-to-do, the North Fork earned its highest ever share of sales above $1 million last quarter.

Are You Looking for a Top Momentum Pick? Why Airbus Group (EADSY) is a Great Choice

Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the "long context," investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades. While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us. Below, we take a look at Airbus Group (EADSY), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score. It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Airbus Group currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period. You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>> Set to Beat the Market? Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for EADSY that show why this company shows promise as a solid momentum pick. A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area. For EADSY, shares are up 0.94% over the past week while the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry is up 2.54% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 9.74% compares favorably with the industry's 10.75% performance as well. Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Airbus Group have risen 27.7%, and are up 56.87% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 18.84% and 15.9%, respectively. Investors should also take note of EADSY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now EADSY is averaging 451,920 shares for the last 20 days.. Earnings Outlook The Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with EADSY. Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost EADSY's consensus estimate, increasing from $1.81 to $1.83 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 1 estimate has moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period. Bottom Line Given these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that EADSY is a #2 (Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of B. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Airbus Group on your short list. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
