Urgent recall for popular chocolate bar after allergen label mistake

Home Bargains has issued an alert for Milka chocolate bars after allergens were not declared in English.

TJ Morris, the parent company of Home Bargains, has told customers with allergies who bought Milka Hazelnut, Milka Whole Nut and Milka Oreo Brownie chocolate bars not to eat them.

The recall applies in England, Scotland and Wales after allergens were not written in English on the label.

The Food Standards Agency said: ‘This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, an allergy to hazelnuts, (nuts) and/or soya, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or with coeliac disease.

‘The affected products were sold by T J Morris at Home Bargains.’

The allergy alert applies to Milka Hazelnut 90g, Milka Whole Nut 95g and Milka Oreo Brownie 100g packages in all best-before codes.

Customers who bought any of the chocolates and have an allergy, intolerance or sensitivity to tree nuts, milk, soya or wheat are told not to consume it.

People should check if they have bought the affected product with no English label as only these items are affected.

They should contact the retailer’s careline at support@homebargains.co.ukfor further information, or return the chocolate to a Home Bargains store for a refund.

The company apologized ‘for any inconvenience caused.’
