A chocolate bar sold by the Swiss company Milka has been recalled across Canada for containing undeclared hazelnuts, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The product, called the Bubbly Alpine Milk, is “being recalled from the marketplace because it contains hazelnut which is not declared on the label,” the CFIA said in a notice sent out Tuesday.

The agency noted that the chocolate bars are distributed in Alberta, B.C., New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec. They are also sold on Amazon.

“Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased,” the agency said.

CBC News has reached out to Mondelez International Inc., which owns the Milka brand, for more information.
