- Better Choice Ltd. is recalling Russian-made Pobeda Confectionery dark chocolate bars in Israel.
- The chocolates contain undeclared milk allergens, posing a risk to allergic consumers.
- Four specific dark chocolate varieties are included in the voluntary recall.
- Consumers with milk allergies are warned not to eat the affected products.
- Purchasers are eligible for a full refund from the point of sale or company.
Better Choice Ltd., the marketer for "Axeros Ltd." products, has initiated a voluntary recall of several dark chocolate bars manufactured by "Pobeda Confectionery" of Russia. The recall was prompted by a consumer complaint that revealed the presence of milk, an allergen not listed on the product's ingredients or allergen warnings.
This omission poses a significant health risk, particularly for individuals with milk allergies or those adhering to vegan or pareve diets, who often consume dark chocolate assuming it is dairy-free. The undeclared milk can trigger severe allergic reactions, potentially life-threatening for sensitive individuals.
The affected products include 100-gram bars of COTE D'IVOIRE 60% (barcode 4610082664050, expiry 18/11/2027), GHANA 67% (barcode 4610082664067, expiry 25/10/2027), COLOMBIA 80% (barcode 4610082664074, expiry 06/12/2027), and DOMINICANA 77% (barcode 4610082664081, expiry 06/12/2027).
Better Choice Ltd. and the Ministry of Health are urging consumers with milk allergies not to consume these products. The company is coordinating with the Ashkelon district food service of the Ministry of Health to immediately remove the relevant batches from all sales channels nationwide. Customers who purchased these chocolates are entitled to a full refund and can contact their point of purchase or the company's customer service at 050-9091517.
