Companies should have a responsibility to add an allergen update sticker to items where they purposefully change ingredients to add an allergen in that wasn't there previously. It really is disgusting that they can hide behind the 'well we updated the ingredients' stance.
I would not expect peanuts to be in a basic chocolate product. My son has severe peanut allergy. This is a huge risk, peanuts are usually in obvious products like nutty chocolate deserts or snickers type bars or peanut butter products.
This is bad and very likely to be missed even by the most observant allergy mums.
This actually scares me as my sun knows chocolate is ok as long as it isn’t packaged as nutty chocolate. So he wouldn’t know.
Surely anyone with a severe nut allergy would always check these things every time before they eat them?
Therefore are likely to have already seen this, rather than the first time they find out about it being on Facebook?
I am not trying to be rude, and I know you're trying to help, and this should be applauded, I just think it would be rather risky of them not to read labels if their life could depend on it.
Slightly off subject but parents to children with allergies may appreciate - I also didn't think Prime drink would contain tree nuts but some flavours do! Thankfully my kids don't drink it but that was a surprise!
The label is misleading due to it saying simply chocolate.
Anyone who has an allergy should be checking the ingredients label on the back.
The issue here is other people not noticing it contains nuts and peanuts and eating it around someone who has an allergy leaving them at risk. As often people can react without ingesting the food.
The Christmas one did too. I bought lots in the sale and got super happy (25p a bar) and then realised I couldn’t eat it because of my severe peanut allergy. My husband took all five bars away on a work trip with him
