Urgent Recall Issued for Chocolate Bars at B&M and Home Bargains Over Health Concerns
An urgent recall has been announced for the Millennium Peanuts Caramel Milk Chocolate bar, which is sold at popular discount retailers B&M and Home Bargains. This action comes in response to significant health fears related to undeclared allergens on the product's label.
Details of the Recall and Health Risks
The producer, Loudwater Trade & Finance Ltd, has initiated the recall after it was discovered that the chocolate bar fails to declare allergens in English on its packaging. The product contains milk, soya, and peanuts, and it may also include hazelnuts, almonds, cashew nuts, and cereals containing gluten. None of these ingredients are properly listed, posing a severe health risk for individuals with allergies or intolerances to these substances.
The Food Standards Agency has issued a warning, emphasizing that this labeling failure could lead to serious allergic reactions. Consumers are strongly advised to avoid consuming the chocolate bar to prevent potential health complications.
Steps for Consumers to Take
Anyone who has purchased the Millennium Peanuts Caramel Milk Chocolate bar is urged to take immediate action. The Food Standards Agency recommends not eating the product and instead contacting Loudwater Trade & Finance Ltd's customer careline at support@loudwateruk.com to arrange for a full refund or to obtain further information.
Alternatively, consumers can return the chocolate to their local Home Bargains or B&M store for a refund. This recall highlights the importance of accurate food labeling in safeguarding public health, especially for those with dietary restrictions or allergies.
