SP Wholesale is a wholesaler which distributes Wonka Bars and other confectionery to corner shops, convenience stores and more.
It is now recalling Wonka Bars due to undeclared allergen ingredients.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has also published an alert on its website issuing a warning to customers on May 17.
It advises anyone with allergies to peanuts or almonds to avoid eating the product altogether.
A Wonka Bar is a milk chocolate treat that comes in a 100g slab, but the recalled products do not have nut allergens listed on the packaging.
Affected bars have a best before date of June 30, 2023, and November 30, 2023.
You can also look out for batch codes 18121P and 33421P to identify the affected bars.
If you find you have one, FSA is advising customers to return it to the store where it was bought for a full refund.
