Target has had to issue a nationwide recall of some of their chocolate Easter bunny products after NSW Food Authorities found the presence of undeclared nut allergens. The recall comes just two weeks before Easter.
The products have been available at Target and Target Country and were found to have tree nuts and peanuts that can cause anaphylactic reactions in people with these allergies, which can have severe results.
