B&M Home Bargains chocolate recall: Bar withdrawn over health fears to buyers
A chocolate bar sold at B&M and Home Bargains has been withdrawn.
A popular chocolate bar has had to be withdrawn from retailers B&M and Home Bargains over health fears to buyers. The Food Standards Agency has said: “Loudwater Trade & Finance Ltd is recalling Millennium Peanuts Caramel Milk Chocolate because it contains milk, peanuts, and soya, and may contain almonds, cashew nuts, cereals containing gluten, and hazelnuts, which are not declared in English on the label.
“The affected products were sold at Home Bargains and B&M. This only affects items with no English ingredients on the pack.”
“This product contains milk, peanuts and soya, and may contain almonds, cashew nuts, cereals containing gluten, and hazelnuts. This makes it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, an allergy to peanuts, soya, almonds, cashew nuts, an allergy or intolerance to cereals containing gluten or coeliac disease, and/or an allergy to hazelnuts.”
What should you do if you have bought this product?
According to the Food Standards Agency, “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, an allergy to peanuts, soya, almonds, cashew nuts, an allergy or intolerance to cereals containing gluten or coeliac disease, and/or an allergy to hazelnuts, do not eat it.
