Boots has withdrawn a batch of its own-brand No Added Sugar Diabetic Chocolate Crisp Bars (3 pack) due to the possible presence of nuts that aren't declared on the label. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
There is a possibility that a small number of cases of Boots chocolate crisp bar boxes have been packed with peanut and almond bars. This poses a potential risk to customers suffering from allergies to nuts.
