Overview
- Hershey Canada has issued a voluntary, nationwide recall of specific 104 g and 200 g Hershey’s Kisses Creamy Milk Chocolate packages because they may contain almonds that are not listed on the label.
- The recall covers products with lot codes beginning with 51G and 51H and a best‑before date of June 1, 2027, with affected bags distributed in Canada between May 6 and July 28, 2026.
- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says one allergic reaction has been linked to the recalled items and has instructed retailers to remove the affected lots from store shelves.
- Consumers with almond or tree‑nut allergies are warned not to eat the product and should discard or return affected packages, while Hershey Customer Relations is offering full refunds to purchasers of the listed lot codes.
- The CFIA is verifying that recalled items have been pulled and is investigating the cause of the undeclared almond contamination, a process that could trigger additional recalls or further public‑health actions.
