Overview

• Weaver Nut Company issued the voluntary recall on June 17 and the FDA published it on June 18.
• It affects semi-sweet chocolate nonpareils with white or Christmas seeds under lot codes 47518 and D2645, including more than 20 batches distributed nationwide at grocery and retail stores.
• The recall stems from a wholesale customer complaint and subsequent tests confirming the presence of milk proteins in products labeled milk-free.
• Consumers with milk allergies run the risk of serious or life-threatening reactions if they eat the affected nonpareils.
• Shoppers are advised to discard or return the recalled packages to retailers for a full refund.
