The debate does not end here as the Dubai-style chocolate was also recalled in U.K. over missing nut warning.
In a recent development an alert has been issued across U.K. over multiple Dubai chocolates which contained undeclared nuts.
The Dubai chocolate warning updated again as more products pose threat to nut-allergy concerns. The debate initiated as multiple brands of Dubai chocolate failed to mention that their products contain nuts.
Food Standard Agency (FSA) warned people about serious risk to anyone with an "allergy to peanuts" as of the labelling error at the chocolate does not declare complete food ingredients in chocolates.
