The Co-op recalls two batches of its own-brand Fairtrade Peruvian Dark Chocolate with Dried Sweetened Cranberries due to undeclared milk

Co-operative Truly Irresistible Fairtrade Peruvian Dark Chocolate with Dried Sweetened Cranberries

Due to a packaging error, two batch codes of the above product contain milk chocolate bars instead of dark chocolate, resulting in incorrect allergen labelling. This makes the product a potential health risk for people who are allergic or intolerant to milk or milk constituents.
