The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan) has launched a food alert this Thursday for some Milka chocolate tablets with ingredients not labeled in Spanish and asks those allergic to milk, hazelnuts or soybeans not to consume them.
Specifically, the affected batch is number OOV0432741 of Milka 250G Mmmax Luflée Caramel chocolate tablets, with an expiration date of April 6, 2024 and a weight of 250 grams.
According to the data provided by this body under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, the initial distribution has been made in Andalusia, Aragon, Catalonia, Cantabria, Madrid and the Valencian Community, but it is not ruled out that there may be redistributions to other autonomous communities.
The information has been transferred through the Coordinated System for Rapid Information Exchange (Sciri), in order to verify the withdrawal of the affected products from the marketing channels.
The AESAN recommends that people who are allergic and/or intolerant to any of the ingredients of this product, who may have it in their homes, not to consume it.
The company Mondelez International has released a statement about this incident. In it, he warns about the absence of labeling in Spanish in some units of the lot in question.
The company has explained that by mistake a packaging corresponding to the markets of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Germany has been used in some units of lot 00V0432741, instead of the one corresponding to the Spanish market.
This has meant that the labeling in Spanish does not appear on these products and that they show the commercial name of those countries (Milka, MIMIMAX, Luflée Caramel).
However, Mondelez International has highlighted that the formula and allergens are the same as in the Milka 250G Mmmax Luflée Caramel product.
The Aesan recalls that the consumption of this product does not pose any risk to the rest of the population.
