‘Health risk’ warning issued as various chocolate products containing milk and soya recalled

Shoppers are being told ‘do not eat’ the items and return them to the store they purchased them from

A ‘health risk’ warning has been issued to shoppers who have bought various chocolate products containing milk and soya. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) published an allergy alert on Saturday (July 25) on behalf of Bon Bon’s Wholesale Ltd.

The leading UK supplier of premium confectionery and luxury sweet treats is recalling five of its chocolate items because they contain undeclared milk and soya, which are not mentioned on the label.

This makes these products a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk, milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya.
