- Counterfeit Prime and Wonka bars
- Potential hazards and allergens
- Collaboration with Trading Standards
Since the well-known beverage manufacturer produces no Prime-branded food items, the chocolate bars are counterfeit and potentially hazardous.
Consumers have been cautioned against purchasing or consuming counterfeit Prime or Wonka chocolate bars, which are potentially hazardous.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) stated that it was collaborating with Trading Standards to safeguard consumers from counterfeit branded chocolate that had been reported for sale.
Prime, the well-known beverage brand, does not produce food items bearing the Prime logo. Therefore, the chocolate bars are counterfeit and potentially hazardous.
Wonka bars sold in stores, online, or at market stalls “will not be the real thing,” says the FSA.
It was cautioned that the allergen labels and ingredient lists might not have been accurately applied.
Fake Wonka Bars were discontinued last year owing to unlisted allergies. This presented a significant health hazard to individuals with food allergies or intolerances.

The director of incidents at the FSA, Tina Potter, advised, “As Christmas approaches, refrain from squandering money on counterfeit branded chocolate for your loved ones, friends, or children; you won’t receive what you believe you are paying for and you won’t even know what’s in them.
A food safety hazard may arise, particularly for individuals with allergies or intolerances.
“We recognise that potentially hazardous counterfeit chocolate bars, such as Wonka and Prime bars, are a problem, and we are collaborating with Trading Standards to protect consumers,” he continued.
Kindly refrain from purchasing or consuming these chocolate bars.
Please tell your local authority if you feel you bought a counterfeit bar or saw suspicious things while shopping.
Late last month, quantities of hallucinogenic drugs were discovered in “a small number” of chocolate bars sold at Mansfield Market in Nottinghamshire, prompting the issuance of this warning.
Nottinghamshire Police received reports of individuals becoming ill after consuming Cali-Gold-labeled and unlabeled chocolate bars.
Subsequent investigations revealed the presence of THC, a compound also identified in cannabis, and Psilocin, which is found in magic mushrooms.
