Card Factory recalls Easter Egg hunt bag due to ingredient blunder

An Easter treat sold by The Card Factory is currently being recalled by the retailers due to a major ingredient blunder on the label.

The Card Factory is recalling their Happy Easter Egg Hunt bag because it contains milk, peanuts, and soya which are not listed in English on the label. The product also states that it may contain cereals containing gluten, egg, and other nuts.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to nuts, peanuts and/or soya, and/or an allergy or intolerance to cereals containing gluten, egg and/or milk or milk constituents.

The Card Factory is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

The product notice reads: "The ingredients list on the packaging of some of these products may have been incorrectly printed only in Polish.

"As this product contains peanuts, milk and soy; and may contain other nuts, eggs, and cereals containing gluten, it is a possible health risk to anyone with a specific allergy or intolerance to these ingredients.

"As a precautionary measure, please do not consume and return the product to a Card Factory store, where you will be given a full refund. For further enquires please contact customerservice@cardfactory.co.uk.

"Thank you for your cooperation. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
