The chocolate bao bun treat is currently stocked at Tesco and Waitrose. The sweet edition of the classic bao buns went viral earlier this year in March as TikTok users shared their excitement at seeing them on the shelves in stores.
The affected batch of the chocolate-y treat has a best-before date of December 14, 2023, and February 8, 2024. As explained on the Food Standards Agency website, milk ingredients that are not disclosed on the label could cause risk to those who have an allergy or intolerance.
Customers are advised to not eat the product if they have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. Instead, they will be able to get a full refund on the item by getting in contact with Itsu.
