Recall issued for Cadbury brand chocolate bar due to undeclared pistachio
Canadian officials say reported reactions prompted a recall of several Dairy Milk Oreo bars, and consumers are told to discard or return the products.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a recall for Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo chocolate bars in TORONTO due to undeclared pistachio, posing a risk to consumers with allergies.
Officials say there have been reported allergic reactions "associated with the consumption" of the chocolate bars, prompting The Canadian Food Inspection Agency to launch a food safety investigation.
The CFIA advised consumers to return or discard the recalled chocolate, warning: "Do not consume recalled products to which you are allergic or sensitive as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction."
Allergies to tree nuts like pistachio affect 1.7 per cent of Canadian adults according to one 2020 study, while the prevalence has increased to 2.6 per cent among Canadian children.
Officials are currently working to ensure all recalled products are removed from store shelves as The CFIA continues its investigation to determine if the recall must expand to other products.
