Waitrose Orange & Milk Chocolate CookiesTHE Ministry of Health has advised the public about the recall of undeclared hazelnut in orange and milk chocolate cookies widely distributed by the brand Waitrose Company, bearing the label best before date of March 30, 2017.

Some packs contain hazelnut which is not declared on the label, the ministry said in a statement.

“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to hazelnut. This product is believed to have been distributed for resale throughout several Caribbean countries, including The Bahamas.

“Consumers who may have purchased the products bearing the best before date listed above should not consume them. They are urged to dispose of the unused product and/or return it to the place of purchase,” the ministry said.

The Ministry of Health said severe allergic reactions can result if persons with nut allergies consume this product.

“If after consuming this product, swelling develops particularly involving the mouth or throat, and you have trouble breathing or feel dizzy or faint, call 911 or 919 for emergency assistance,” the ministry said.
