Grape Tree recalls Easy Melt Couverture Dark Chocolate 55% because of undeclared milk
Why it was recalled
Grape Tree is recalling its Easy Melt Couverture Dark Chocolate 55% because it contains milk that is not mentioned on the label. Dark chocolate is widely assumed to be dairy-free, and many people with milk allergies use it for exactly that reason, especially for home baking.
A couverture product is bought to be melted into other foods, so undeclared milk here can quietly contaminate everything made with it, from bakes to gifts.
Allergens involved: Milk

What this means for you
If you or anyone eating your baking reacts to milk, do not use this chocolate, and consider anything already made with it as containing dairy.

The official FSA notice carries the authoritative batch details and instructions.
