Retailer B&M has recalled a popular gift set because of possibly undisclosed allergy information.
The retailer issued a recall warning for its Biscuit Freak Shake because there is milk protein contained in the vanilla milkshake powder.
This, it says, was not reported on the allergy information. A recall notice issued through the Food Standards Agency (FSA) says this could cause danger to anyone with a milk allergy.
Anyone who bought the product should take it back to the store for a refund. Milkshakes with a best before date of January 22 are impacted – meaning they should not longer be consumed anyway.
The alert from B&M states: “We are recalling this product as it contains sodium caseinate, which is a protein derived from milk. While sodium caseinate was stated in the ingredients list, it omitted a reference to the allergen, milk. As this was not declared as an allergen there is a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy to milk.
“If you have bought this product and have an allergy to milk, we advise you not to consume it. The affected product has a best before date of 22 January 2024 and therefore should not be consumed in any event.
“Customers are asked to return this product for a full refund. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.”
B&M says the Biscoff part of the product is unaffected.
