Seggiano Nougat Products Recalled for Undeclared Milk and Soya

Seggiano Nougat Recall: Hidden Milk and Soya Lurking in Your Torrone

If you're a fan of Italian nougat and also happen to be allergic to milk or soya, this one needs your attention. Seggiano has recalled two of its chocolate-covered torrone products after it emerged that they contain both milk and soy lecithin -- neither of which is declared on the label. For anyone managing these allergies, undeclared ingredients are a genuine health risk, and this is exactly the kind of labelling failure that can catch people off guard.

What's Affected

Two Seggiano products are involved in this recall:

• Seggiano Chocolate Covered Torrone -- 125g
• Seggiano Pistachio and Chocolate Covered Torrone -- 125g

The recall covers multiple batch codes, so if you have either of these products at home, assume yours could be affected regardless of the specific batch. This recall applies to products sold in England only.

The undeclared ingredients are milk and soy lecithin, both of which are among the 14 major allergens that must be declared on food labels in the UK. Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies, and soya affects a significant number of people too -- so the potential impact here is real.

What You Should Do

If you or anyone in your household has a milk or soya allergy:

• Do not eat these products. Even if you've had them before without issues, the undeclared ingredients may vary between batches.
• Return them to the retailer for a full refund.
• If you've already consumed either product and experience symptoms -- anything from skin reactions, stomach pain, or swelling to more severe anaphylactic symptoms like difficulty breathing -- seek medical help immediately. Make sure to mention the specific allergens involved.

If nobody in your household is allergic to milk or soya, the products are safe to eat. The recall is about the labelling, not a contamination issue.

Stay Informed

Allergen labelling exists for a reason, and when it fails, people can end up seriously ill. Recalls like this serve as a reminder to stay vigilant, especially with imported or speciality products where supply chain complexity can introduce labelling gaps.
