Class II – The use of or exposure to a product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. Class III – The use of or exposure to a product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. What should you do if you bought any of the products?

Check your chocolate. Several companies announce candy and snacks recalls
Be careful when buying those sweets for this Valentine's Day. A couple of chocolate manufacturers recently issued recalls for their products, mostly sold outside of Indiana. On Jan. 29, United Natural Trading announced it was voluntarily recalling its Fresh Direct Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels due to undeclared milk ingredients. 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product,' the Edison, New Jersey-based company said in the announcement. The affected products are from Lot Number 24353 with a Best By Date of 06/30/2025 and a UPC# 811102026276. The products were shipped via online sales via a third-party vendor site in limited quantities to the Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York areas. The lot numbers are printed on the back of each retail packaging. Consumers who have any remaining product from the lot should discard it and keep online receipts or packaging that reflects lot numbers or any other proof of purchase they have for a refund. For more information, contact the company at 732-650-9905 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Monday through Friday. On. Jan. 22, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) elevated a recall of some Cal Yee Farm chocolate products to its most serious level, Class I, for some products — Dark Chocolate Almonds, Dark Chocolate Apricots and Dark Chocolate Walnuts — that contain milk not listed in the ingredients, according to the New York Post. An FDA Class I recall involves a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The items were part of a December 2024 voluntary recall of products with the undisclosed presence of milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 and almonds. The Suisun Valley, California-based company initially announced the recall of chocolate and yogurt-covered snacks, trail mix and butter toffee on Dec. 12, 2024, saying people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to those ingredients run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume those products. The recall came after an FDA inspection of its facility. Dark Chocolate Walnuts Dark Chocolate Raisins Dark Chocolate Almonds Yogurt Coated Almonds Dark Chocolate Apricots Tropical Trail Mix Butter Toffee Almonds (sold under Cal Yee's and Boa Vista Orchards brands) Mango with Chili Hot Cajun Sesame Sticks New Orleans Hot Mix Fruit Basket 2909 Fruit Basket 2921 The products were distributed in California, Arizona, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, Ohio and Pennsylvania through the Cal Yee Farm retail store at 5158 Clayton Rd. in Suisun Valley, California, and online at Butter Toffee Almonds were also sold through the Boa Vista Orchards retail store at 2952 Carson Rd. in Placerville, California. The Cal Yee- and Cal Yee Farm-branded items were packaged in clear plastic zippered pouches in either eight-ounce, one-pound, two-pound and five-pound sizes with a bright yellow label identifying the product in front of the pouch. Dark Chocolate Apricots were packaged in two types of plastic containers with a white or yellow label identifying the product. Fruit Baskets were packaged in a basket with a yellow label identifying the product on the back of the basket. Boa Vista Orchard-branded Butter Toffee Almonds were packaged in a six-ounce clear plastic zippered pouch with a white label identifying the product. Customers with milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 and almonds allergies or sensitivities who have purchased the affected products should not consume the product and should dispose of them or return them for a full refund. For more information, contact 707-425-5327 or mariatmail03@ from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific Monday through Friday. Those announcements followed the Jan. 21 recall of D. Coluccio & Sons' Colussi Cantuccini Chocolate Drops chocolate chip cookies due to undeclared potential almond content. People who have allergies to tree nuts (almonds) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products, the company said. The cookies were distributed nationwide via retail stores and mail orders, packaged in 10.58-ounce blue bags with UPC 8002590006020, marked with lot numbers 3540152 BBD 15-01-2025 and L354150 BBD 29-05-2025 on the back of the bag. Consumers who have purchased the affected Colussi Cantuccini Chocolate Drops cookies packages are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
