According to the FSA, the product contains milk that is not declared on the packaging, creating a potential health risk for people who are allergic or intolerant to milk or milk constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The warning applies only to a particular batch and best-before date. Customers who have purchased the affected product are being advised to check the details carefully and return it to the retailer for a refund if necessary. The <strong>recall <\/strong>has been accompanied by notices in stores and communications with allergy support organisations to help ensure affected consumers are informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Undeclared milk prompts nationwide allergy alert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.food.gov.uk\/news-alerts\/alert\/fsa-aa-30-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FSA<\/a>, Buttermilk Confections is recalling its Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar because it contains milk, specifically casein, which is not listed on the label. The agency stated that this omission makes the product a \u201cpossible health risk\u201d for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The affected product is sold in 45g packs and carries the batch code BM26105. The best-before date printed on the recalled bars is 15 June 2027. The FSA&#8217;s Allergy Alert explains that food products may be withdrawn from shelves or recalled from consumers when there is a risk linked to incorrect or missing allergen information. In this case, the concern centres on <strong>undeclared milk content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the agency, the recall has been assigned reference number FSA-AA-30-2026. The regulator noted that food allergy risks can arise when mandatory allergen labelling is missing or inaccurate, prompting formal alerts to protect consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">11 June: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Buttermilk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Buttermilk<\/a> is recalling Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar because of undeclared milk <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FoodAllergy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FoodAllergy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U1B6rigNDl\">https:\/\/t.co\/U1B6rigNDl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pS1BSY1X3M\">pic.twitter.com\/pS1BSY1X3M<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Food Standards Agency (@foodgov) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/foodgov\/status\/2065122574703722885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 11, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consumers advised not to eat affected batch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttermilk Confections has issued a point-of-sale <strong>notice <\/strong>outlining the action customers should take if they have purchased the recalled chocolate bar.
