The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a 'do not eat' warning after a chocolate bar was pulled from shelves due to a possible health risk. The Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar, made by Buttermilk Confections, has been recalled because it contains milk that is not declared on the packaging, posing a risk to anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance.
The FSA stated: 'Buttermilk Confections is recalling Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar because it contains milk, which is not mentioned on the label.' The affected packs are 45g with a best before date of June 15, 2027, and batch code BM26105.
The FSA added: 'This product contains milk (casein) making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.' Buttermilk Confections is recalling the product from customers and has contacted allergy support organisations. A point-of-sale notice has also been issued.
In the notice, Buttermilk Confections advised: 'If you have bought Buttermilk Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar as detailed above, do not eat it.' Customers are urged to check the batch code and best before date, and return the product to the store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
The FSA emphasised: 'If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.' The FSA also noted that when there is a food allergy risk, an Allergy Alert is issued.
