Leader has announced a recall of protein bars after it was found that they contain egg, although the allergen is not mentioned in the product details. According to HS, the issue matters only for consumers who are allergic to egg.

The recall is limited and does not affect all customers. In cases like this, incorrect allergen labelling is critical information because it determines whether a product is safe to eat.

HS reports that Leader has not publicly provided further details about the scope of the recall. People with an egg allergy are advised to avoid the bars until the labelling and instructions have been checked.
