A lot of vanilla ice-cream cones advertised as "vegan" in reality contain traces of milk which are not declared on the label, health authorities have warned. 

The Environmental Health Directorate warned people with allergies to milk to steer clear of ice-cream cones made by 'My Best Veggie' with the lot number 18GV and a best before date of 18/07/2019. 

The company has put up notices warning consumers about the milk traces in stores where the cones are sold, the Directorate said.
