Marks & Spencer recalls 120g Milk Chocolate Honeycomb over peanuts

Marks & Spencer has recalled its 120g Milk Chocolate Honeycomb snack after the Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert warning that some packs may contain undeclared peanuts, posing a risk to people with peanut allergies. The retailer and the FSA urged customers who have the affected product not to eat it and to return it to their nearest Marks & Spencer store for a full refund.

The recall applies to packs with lot number 5242 and a best-before date of May 12, 2026. Customers have also been asked to check the barcode number 091756829143603 and to heed in-store point-of-sale notices explaining the recall and next steps. The FSA issued a do not eat warning because peanuts are not listed on the product label, creating a potential health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to peanuts.

In a statement, Marks & Spencer said, "Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks and Spencer," and apologised for any inconvenience. The company added that, as a precaution, it is recalling Milk Chocolate Honeycomb because of the possible presence of undeclared peanuts in a small number of packs.
