Cadbury Easter Eggs recall due to nut allergy concerns
Cadbury on the back of the nut allergy alert has added thousands more Easter eggs to those it is already recalling.
Cadbury admitted that the products had been produced on a line also used in the production of products containing nuts but had not been given warning labels.
Recent Cadbury Salmonella recall
Just two months ago Cadbury revealed a salmonella scare that saw the company remove chocolate bars from shelves, costing the company £30 million.
Nut allergies are increasingly common among children in Britain and food labelling rules require pre-packed food to clearly indicate whether it may contain nuts.
Cadbury has informed the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The Birmingham-based firm has been making milk chocolate for more than 100 years.
The new packs being recalled are:
- Cadbury Creme Egg Mini tube 160g
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Mini Egg bag 100g
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Miniatures carton 100g
- Cadbury Creme Egg Minis Easter Egg 98g
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Gaelic Athletic Association 44(Ireland only)
