If you have a milk allergy or intolerance, or a soya allergy, do not eat the affected chocolates. Return them to the shop where they were purchased for a full refund. For further information or refund assistance, call Bon Bons on 01937 840681.
The affected chocolates are listed by shape rather than a single bag or box name. Check the ladybird, heart, butterfly or car description against its own dates. A date that matches one row does not automatically identify a chocolate from another row, and the notice gives more than one affected date for several shapes.
Both milk and soya are missing from the labels. Someone avoiding either allergen needs the recall information, even if they are familiar with the other ingredient being used in chocolate.
The listed dates extend into 2027 and, for one ladybird product, 2028. That means a pack bought in July could remain in a cupboard long after the first recall announcement. Look at the individual product's packaging before giving it away or sharing it. If the label has been discarded, the retailer or Bon Bons may be able to help identify the purchase; do not rely on the chocolate's colour or shape alone to establish its date.
Read the official FSA notice for the recall details and any further updates.
