If you’ve got a sweet tooth and a love for all things decadent, you may have noticed a new treat making waves in specialty stores.
With its elegant packaging and promise of rich, exotic flavours, it’s no wonder this chocolate has become a favourite among chocolate lovers. But before you rush out to indulge, there’s an important update you need to know.
Choco Bliss has issued a recall for their Dubai Chocolate 200g, affecting all date markings up to and including January 2026.
The recall applies to products sold in Choco Bliss stores across Queensland. The reason? The presence of undeclared allergens—specifically pistachio, milk, sesame seed, and wheat.
For most people, this might sound like a minor hiccup. However, for those with allergies or intolerances to any of these ingredients, consuming this chocolate could lead to a severe reaction.
Allergic responses can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening anaphylaxis, so it’s crucial to take this recall seriously.
Food labelling laws in Australia are strict for a reason. When allergens aren’t listed, people with sensitivities can unknowingly put themselves at risk.
Even a minor allergen can trigger a reaction, so transparency is key. This recall reminds us to always check labels—even on products we’ve bought before, as recipes and suppliers can change.
Do not consume this product if you or someone in your household has a pistachio, milk, sesame seed, wheat allergy or intolerance.
Instead, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund—no questions asked. Choco Bliss and food safety authorities urge anyone concerned about their health after consuming the product to seek medical advice immediately.

Food recalls are more common than you might think and are not always about foreign objects or spoilage. Allergen mislabelling is a leading cause, and it can affect any product, from chocolates to ready meals.
The best way to protect yourself is to stay informed. The Food Standards Australia New Zealand website regularly updates recall notices, and many supermarkets have in-store alerts.
If you have allergies or intolerances, consider signing up for recall alerts or using apps that scan barcodes for allergen information. And if you’re ever in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask the staff or contact the manufacturer..
While it’s disappointing to miss out on a treat, recalls like this one indicate that food safety systems are working.
Companies are held accountable, and consumers are protected. It’s also a good reminder for all of us to be vigilant, especially when trying new or imported products.
