- Replies 4
If you have a sweet tooth, you might want to pay close attention to this article. A recent notice might make you pause before you reach out for those delectable delights, especially if you shop at Koko Black.
Koko Black, a famous premium chocolate brand, recently recalled three flavours due to an undisclosed allergen. This recall has caused quite a ripple among chocolate lovers nationwide.
The products in question contain traces of soy that have not been clearly labelled on the packaging. Consumption of these inadequately labelled products could lead to a reaction for those with a soy allergy or intolerance.
Among those recalled are the Nº 30 Gold Block 40g, Goldie Pops Popcorn 150g, and the Australian Native Collection–Macadamia & Spotted Gum honey crumble, caramelised white chocolate 80g flavours.
Double-check your packaging if you have purchased these products. The recall states that the chocolates with the best-before date up to and including March 30, 2024, should not be consumed.
Should you find yourself in possession of the recalled confectionery, worry not! The company has got you covered. Return the product to whichever store you purchased it from, and you will be given a full refund. It's a shame, we know, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
These chocolates have been sold at the Koko Black stores and independent retail stores nationwide.
You can also direct your queries to the Koko Black customer service at (03) 9958 7400 or visit their official website.

Understanding Soy Allergies
A slight digression but a highly significant one as we delve into soy allergies–an underlying cause that has resulted in this chocolate recall. When a person is allergic to soy, their immune system essentially misinterprets the proteins found in soy as harmful invaders. This incites a war within the body wherein it releases chemicals like histamine to ward off the perceived intruders.
The effects range from mild such as hives, itching and tingling in and around the mouth, to severe ones, like breathing difficulties, swelling of the throat or even a drop in blood pressure.
What's important is to always be proactive if you know you have a soy allergy.
While it may seem like a minor inconvenience, for those affected, soy allergens can pack quite a punch. Be sure to play it safe and know your allergens because a moment's care can save you from a potential catastrophe.
Here at the Seniors Discount Club, our priority has always been the safety and health of our members. So remember, if you do find one of these chocolates lurking in your home, return them and avail your refund.
Stay safe, and here’s to hoping you still find plenty of delicious treats in your chocolate stash!
