Why Were Nonpareils Chocolates Recalled?
According to the FDA’s press release, the Nonpareil semi-sweet Christmas and white seeds were recalled “due to potential undeclared milk allergens.”
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the impacted products,” the FDA indicated. “Consumers who have purchased the affected product and have a milk allergy are urged not to consume it. If sensitive to milk allergy, the product should be discarded immediately or for a full refund returned to the place of purchase.”
The FDA pointed out that the problem with these two recalled Nonpareils “was discovered through a wholesale customer complaint upon receipt of shipment misaligned with updated product spec. followed by a lab test to confirm the milk presence [sic].”
What Do I Do if I Bought Nonpareils Chocolates?
The FDA urges all American consumers to check the product label on any Nonpareils they purchased. As indicated in the FDA’s press release, anyone who purchased one of the recalled items can get a full refund regardless of the condition of the package.
