Food Labels

Last weekend my husband, bless his little cotton socks, went around the corner to the local Woolies and picked up some hot cross buns (yeah I know Easter is over) because he knows that I like fruit buns and we haven't found a good bakery near us that makes them the way I like.
He got home and told me he had bought them, I looked at them strangely and asked, "why are they yellow"; Michael's reaction is I dont know that's all they had. Turned out they were brioche (hence the yellow) but I digress from what this is actually about.
When I finally decided to have one with coffee later in the day, I went to the kitchen and found Michael munching away on the "Fruit Buns", a bit of silly banter and Michael said these dont taste like the others we'd been getting, and they weren't.
Luckily for me, my husband had started eating them first because they had chocolate in them, and unfortunately for me I am allergic to chocolate. We checked the label there was nothing at all in the ingredients list saying there was any cocoa/cacao. We had a friend visit and she tried one and said it is definitely chocolate and fruit in the bun. The label only referred to the product as a fruit bun.
My husband got a little upset, me not so, crisis averted, I took them back to the shop and informed them, and they were going to take it up with the Bakery Manager to find out why they had been labelled wrongly. I dont think it was intentional, and I do understand the labels are there for a reason.

I think the question that I am posing is "Should I have been as upset as my husband was"?
