Coles is offering full refunds on two of its sugar-free chocolate blocks after it falsely labelled the blocks as “suitable for vegans”.

Coles sugar-free dark chocolate (100g) and Coles sugar-free dark chocolate with almond and cranberry (100g) were pulled from the shelves when it was found that the products contained dairy.

"The recall is due to the presence of an undeclared allergen – dairy – which has not been specified on the label. The label incorrectly advises the product is 'suitable for vegans'," Coles said in a statement on Friday.

"We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience."

Coles has a small range of products directly targeting vegan shoppers including vegan bliss balls and vegan chicken-style nuggets.
