Coles had recalled their chocolate range after they wrongly marketed it as ‘suitable for vegans’ when it actually contained dairy
‘The recall is due to the presence of an undeclared allergen — dairy — which has not been specified on the label,’ the supermarket revealed in a statement.
‘The label incorrectly advises the product is suitable for vegans’.
The product was marketed to the vegan community and was a part of a small range directed at vegan shoppers.
