Mondelez International is recalling certain packs of The Natural Confectionery Co. Jelly Snakes because they may contain wheat (gluten) which is not mentioned on the label.

As a result of a packaging error, some packs may contain Liquorice Allsorts sweets which contain wheat (gluten), meaning the product is a possible health risk for anyone with coeliac disease, and / or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten.
