What is this? Some dark chocolate with no added sugar from Spain may have small bits of almond in it. The package does not say this on the label.

What's happening? The maker found that almonds were mixed in but forgot to list them. This could harm people who are allergic to nuts.

Does this affect me? If you live in Spain or Andorra and bought this chocolate, check your package. People with nut allergies are most at risk.

What should I do? Stop eating the chocolate. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel sick. Return it to the store for a refund.
