A sweet shop owner has been told to pay £10,000 after selling “Wonka” bars deemed an “imminent safety risk” to people with allergies.
Alan Price did not have permission to use the name Wonka, associated with the character created by author Roald Dahl.
Powys council said allergen information for milk and soya was not in the right format on the chocolate’s wrapper.

Mr Price owns stores in Newtown, Powys, as well as in Chester, Ludlow and Telford.
He pleaded guilty to 10 charges under the Trade Marks Act 1994 and the Food Information (Wales) Regulations 2014 in a prosecution led by Powys council’s trading standards.
Llandrindod Wells magistrates’ court heard on 16 August that the Wonka logo is a registered trademark, meaning it is an offence to use it on any product without it being licensed by the trademark’s owner.
Mr Price was said to be responsible for the application of the Wonka logo onto the chocolate bar labels.
