Cadbury recalls Dairy Milk Oreo candy bar over undeclared pistachio

Cadbury has initiated a recall of its popular Dairy Milk Oreo candy bar because the packaging fails to declare the presence of pistachios. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed the recall, affecting both the standard 38-gram bars and the 12-pack versions of the candy.

According to Cadbury, the affected candy bars may contain pistachios, an allergen that is not listed on the product's ingredient label. The company stated that there have been reported instances of allergic reactions associated with the consumption of these specific products.

The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace.

The CFIA is currently conducting a food safety investigation into the matter. This investigation could potentially lead to further recalls if more issues are uncovered. The agency is actively verifying that retailers are removing the recalled products from store shelves to prevent further exposure to consumers with allergies.

Consumers who are allergic or sensitive to pistachios are strongly advised against consuming the recalled Dairy Milk Oreo bars. The CFIA warned that ingesting these products could lead to a "serious or life-threatening reaction." Customers can either discard the affected candy bars or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
