UMVA has learned that a popular chocolate bar has been urgently recalled after tests revealed it may contain hidden milk.
The product in question, the Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar, is marketed by Buttermilk Confections, a brand known for its dairy‑free claims. Shoppers who rely on those claims now face a sudden health risk.
Regulators warn that anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance should discard the bar immediately and return it for a full refund, citing the presence of milk casein—a protein that can trigger severe reactions.
Consumers who purchased the bar are urged to check the packaging for the batch number and act quickly, as the hidden ingredient turns a seemingly safe treat into a potential danger.
In a development reported by UMVA, the Food Standards Agency emphasized that the recall applies to all stock of the Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar, regardless of where it was sold.
This incident underscores the critical importance of rigorous ingredient verification, especially for products that promise to be free from common allergens.
