Nationwide Chocolate Recall – Products Sold in Louisiana and Texas

(KMDL-FM) For most of us, when we hear the word chocolate, we do not think of anything sinister. Chocolate is associated with good things, not bad things. However, in this case, some chocolate products that you already have in your home might need your attention based on information made available by the Food and Drug Administration.

The concern raised by the FDA is once again blamed on "undisclosed allergens." For those without allergies, this might seem like much ado about nothing. But let me assure you that the dangers faced by those who do have specific allergies can truly be a matter of life and death.

What Chocolate Products Have Been Recalled in Louisiana and Texas?

The product in question is a certain semi-sweet nonpareil chocolate that was distributed to retail and grocery store outlets nationwide by Weaver Nut Company. The affected products have been recalled because of undeclared milk allergens. Milk is one of the top nine allergens the FDA requires companies to declare.

Other allergens that are on the FDA "short list" are eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. The FDA considers these to be major food allergens and requires them to be declared on all food labels.
