Why the product is being recalled
Peanut is one of the 14 allergens that must be declared on food labels in the UK. Because it is missing from the label on these bars, the FSA says they are a possible health risk for anyone with a peanut allergy.

What to do
The FSA advises anyone who has bought the bars not to eat them and to return them to the shop where they bought them for a full refund. Halo Foods has been advised to contact allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
Stores selling the product will display point of sale notices explaining why it is being recalled and what customers should do. Rights to refunds after a recall are explained in the KT product recall consumer rights guide.
