B&M Home Bargains has recalled Millennium Peanuts Caramel Milk Chocolate. The recall stems from undeclared allergens on the product label, posing a health risk to consumers.
The Food Standards Agency reported that the recall affects all 285g packs of the chocolate, regardless of best-before dates. The product may contain milk, peanuts, soya, and could also include almonds, cashew nuts, gluten-containing cereals, and hazelnuts.
Allergens are not declared in English on the label. This oversight can lead to severe or life-threatening reactions for individuals with allergies. Consumers are advised not to consume the product and to return it for a full refund.
Retailers B&M and Home Bargains have removed the affected product from their shelves following this alert. The recall is classified as a precautionary food safety alert due to incorrect allergen declaration.
The Food Standards Agency emphasized the seriousness of undeclared allergens. “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance… do not eat it,” they stated.
This incident highlights vulnerabilities in supply chain labeling compliance for imported products. Retailers must maintain withdrawal procedures and enhance checks on imported confectionery supplies.
The recall reflects a broader trend of food safety alerts in the UK retail sector. It underscores the importance of accurate labeling for consumer safety.
