They've narrowed it down to a batch of bars that are good thru 2017. They got some sent back and tested and didn't find anything. So they're saying it's allergic reactions.
So what does a huge food company do when it releases a new product?
Say Quaker Oats rolled out a flavorless Granola Bar, do they just expect a certain number of ER visits?

In UK companies list typical allergens in bold on the packet.
They also list whether the production line is shared with other products that might contain allergens.
This is pretty important, since food allergies can kill. (Not many, only about 150 - 200 per year die form peanut allergies in the US.)
They do extensive testing, compare their product to existing and prior products and the testing from that.
