Message:
Lindt & Sprungli Ltd has reported that some Lindt Easter eggs were placed in incorrect packaging. Easter eggs made from milk chocolate contain barley malt extract (with < 20 ppm gluten); this is not declared on the packaging for the above two products. The incorrectly packed batches may be unsafe for consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of barley. Queries can be directed to Lindt at http://www.lindt.co.uk/contact-us/ .
