Cadbury Bar Recalled: Hidden Pistachio Allergy Risk
25 Jul
Summary
- Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo bars recalled due to undeclared pistachio.
- Undeclared pistachio may cause serious allergic reactions.
- Pistachio allergies are common among Canadian adults and children.
Cadbury has initiated a recall of its Dairy Milk Oreo candy bars because they may contain pistachio, an ingredient not listed on the product's label.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has reported instances of allergic reactions associated with these bars and is conducting a food safety investigation.
This investigation could potentially extend to other Cadbury products. Consumers with the recalled candy bars are instructed to dispose of them or return them to the point of purchase.
The agency strongly advises against consuming recalled products if one has a pistachio allergy, as it could lead to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Recent data indicates that tree nut allergies, including to pistachios, are a significant concern among Canadians, affecting both adults and children.
