The recall has been issued because an incorrect product description on external packaging may pose a health risk to people allergic to nuts. While labelling on the box indicates it contains peppermint muesli bars, a small number of boxes contain ‘Nut Treat’ bars. These ‘Nut Treat’ bars are however correctly labelled on the inner product packaging.
