THE Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan) has issued a precautionary alert for individuals with allergies to milk, hazelnuts, or soy regarding certain Milka 250G Mmmax Luflee Caramel chocolate bars.
Specifically, the concern is in reference to batch OOV0432741 of Milka 250G Mmmax Luflee Caramel chocolate tablets, with an expiration date of April 6, 2024, and a weight of 250 grams.
The alert comes following a labelling mistake on certain units of batch 00V0432741. Packaging meant for other markets (Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and Austria) was accidentally used instead of the correct Spanish labeling for the Milka 250G Mmmax Luflee Caramel chocolate tablets.
