Marks and Spencer has issued a UK-wide recall of its Milk Chocolate Honeycomb over fears the product may contain undeclared peanuts, posing a health risk to those with peanut allergies.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an alert on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, urging customers with the product to check its lot number. Affected packs have a lot number of 5242 and a use-by date of May 12, 2026.
The recall, described as a precautionary measure, follows the discovery that some packs may contain peanuts not listed on the label. Customers are advised not to eat the chocolate and to return it to any M&S store for a full refund, with no receipt required.
M&S has also contacted allergy support organisations and will display point-of-sale notices in stores until January 15, 2026. For further information, consumers can call 03330 148555.
The NHS warns that food allergy symptoms can affect different parts of the body and may appear immediately or days after consumption.
