Urgent food warning as TK Maxx customers told 'do not eat' popular snack
Shoppers are eligible for a full refund if they have purchased the products in question.
TK Maxx and Homesense have issued an urgent food recall to shoppers who have purchased granola bars in the past few months.
The retailers are recalling the Chocolate Chip Oatrageous Chewy Granola Bars and Variety Pack Oatrageous Chewy Granola Bars because they contain milk that is not mentioned on the label.
According to the Food Standards Agency, this means the products may pose a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or its constituents.
A statement in TK Maxx's food safety notice claimed that the affected products were sold in TK Maxx and Homesense stores between August 2024 and October 2024.
The product code shown on the price sticker and the receipt should indicate whether customers have purchased a recalled batch of the granola bars.
