The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has announced the recall of six of Ikea’s chocolate brands and advised people with allergies to nuts and almonds against consuming the products.

The recall is being carried out in collaboration with Hamad and Mohamed Al-Futtaim Company-Ikea.

In a statement, the ministry stressed that the recall campaign comes within the framework of its ongoing efforts to ensure that suppliers comply with product quality and specifications in order to protect consumers.

The MEC said it has co-ordinated with the supplier in order to withdraw the product from Ikea and urged all consumers - who suffer from allergies to nuts and almonds and have purchased the product - to directly contact Ikea-Qatar to return the product and obtain a refund.

The ministry has urged all customers to report violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud Department through the call centre (16001), email ([email protected]), Twitter (@MEC_Qatar), Instagram (MEC_Qatar) and the mobile app for Android and iOS (MEC_Qatar).
