The recalling has been issued by the UK’s Food Standards Agency on behalf of Nestlé, reported The Sentinel.
Nestlé UK said in a statement: “Although these packs are clearly labelled with ‘may contain peanuts and nuts’ there is a risk to anyone with a nut or peanut allergy who may consume their contents without realising.
“Although these products are otherwise safe to consume we are making this recall as a precaution.
“This does not affect any other KitKat products.”
