What to do now
The label on Les Florentins Chocolat Biscuits does not tell people about the gluten it contains. For everyone else the product is safe to eat; for people with an allergy to gluten, it is not.
- Anyone who avoids gluten should not eat this product.
- Tell anyone else in the household, school bag or lunchbox chain who might reach for it.
- Take it back to TK Maxx and ask for a refund.
- Check other packs at home against the details below — the recall only covers the packs listed.
Why it matters. Gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley, and often in oats unless they are labelled gluten-free. It matters for people with coeliac disease as well as those with a wheat allergy.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- an itchy, tingling mouth
- a raised itchy rash (hives)
- swelling of the lips, face or eyes
- stomach pain or being sick
Get help urgently
- swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, wheezing, feeling faint, or collapse — use an adrenaline auto-injector if you have one and call 999, saying it is anaphylaxis
This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.
Getting your money back
The quickest route is to take the pack, or a photo of its label, back to the shop. Most retailers refund recalled products without proof of purchase.
