Always pays to check the ingredient label but especially on items we don’t often buy.

If you or your loved one has a food allergy - don’t get caught out this Easter buying chocolate that is not safe.

Remember to carefully read the ingredient list, the ‘Contains’ allergen summary statement and any precautionary allergen labelling, such as ‘may contain’ before buying or eating Easter chocolate. Make sure that you do not rely only on front-of- pack information.
