IKEA recalls chocolate products

2016-07-28 14:00

IKEA wants customers who have bought one or more of the affected IKEA chocolate products to be informed that these products are not suitable for persons allergic or sensitive to hazelnut and/or almond, and are therefore being recalled by IKEA.

IKEA expands the ongoing chocolate recall by 6 further IKEA chocolate products, which are not suitable for persons allergic or sensitive to hazelnut and/or almond.

Product safety and quality are of highest priority to IKEA and the global recall concern all best before dates of all affected products.

The presence of hazelnut and almond has been frequently and not only occasionally detected, which underlines that these chocolate products are not suitable for consumption by persons allergic or sensitive to those allergens.

The product information is not stating this frequent presence clearly enough as the product labels only states “may contain…”. The product information on the product label could possibly be misleading and is therefore not interpreted as compliant with legislation in several markets. Based on the high IKEA safety and quality standards we have decided to recall the affected products globally, irrespective of various legislations in our markets.

The products are safe for anyone not allergic or sensitive to almond and/or hazelnut. IKEA has no allergic incident reported in connection with the additional 6 products added to the ongoing chocolate recall.

Concerned customers are welcome to return affected products at the nearest IKEA store at a full refund.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
