Urgent recall of chocolate products due to peanuts as customers warned of 'possible health risk'

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said that the affected products have been recalled as they “may contain peanuts which are not mentioned on the label making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts.”

The products included in the recall are:

The FSA added: “Prestat is recalling the above products from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, who will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers.”

Those who have bought any of the above products and have a peanut allergy have been instructed not to eat them. Instead, the chocolates should be returned to the point of sale for a full refund.
