Recall Alert: Popular Candy Pulled From Shelves At Major Retail Chains
Aside from their high price tag and fat content, there may be another reason to think twice before eating macadamia nuts. Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Company, a popular Hawaii-based candy manufacturer, has just voluntarily recalled some of its products sold at ACME Markets, Walmart, and Target. Mauna Loa Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamias were recalled due to the possible presence of undeclared almonds and cashews. This issue could be life-threatening for anyone with severe allergies. Luckily, no allergic reactions have been reported. The issue seems to have been caught in time, so Mauna Loa will avoid the list of the most deadly recalled foods in U.S. history such as the one that affected Boar's Head deli meat in 2024. The chocolate-covered nuts are manufactured by a third party, and the mistake was found during an internal quality control process conducted by Mauna Loa. The candy company took immediate action to recall the product, alerting the FDA and consumers. This incident is far from the only recall involving chocolate; Some of the biggest chocolate recalls in history include Nestlé Toll House recalling its Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in 2009 and 2023 as well as Betty Crocker recalling its Triple Chunk Brownie Mix in 2003.

The recall affects 0.6 and 4-ounce bags. The affected 0.6-bags have a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 0 72992 05464 4 and is marked with one of two lot numbers: K5069C1 or K5069C2. Additionally, the best buy date is 10/2026. Affected 4-ounce bags have the UPC code 0 72992 05556 6 and either B4339E1 or B4340E1 as lot numbers. The best buy date is 07/2026. Be sure to check if you have these products as soon as possible — especially if you or a family member have an allergy to almonds or cashews. You can return the affected bags for a full refund. If you have any questions, contact Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Company's customer service at 1-888-255-5998. Read the original article on Mashed.

Halo Top is giving away 80,000 ice cream pints in celebration of 8 new flavors
Halo Top is giving away 80,000 ice cream pints in celebration of 8 new flavors Show Caption Hide Caption When was ice cream invented? It's more complicated than you think. The origins of ice cream are surprisingly mysterious. Here's what to know about the dessert's history. Halo Top is celebrating the International Day of Happiness on March 20 and the launch of eight new flavors by giving away 80,000 pints of its "too good to be true" ice cream. "Halo Top is opening the freezer aisle doors to anyone who thinks this new, light yet indulgent ice cream, bursting with irresistible combinations, is too good to be true," the brand said in a news release Tuesday. "To prove them wrong, they're offering 80,000 free pints." The brand, which was founded in 2012 "to deliver premium desserts that people can feel good about," said it is "ready to take on its skeptics" in celebration of International Happiness Day, adding it "confidently" stands "behind its new formula, which is also a good source of protein" and boasts "half the calories of other leading brands." Each Halo Top ice-cream pint contains only 490 calories, Halo Top said, adding its latest "craveable innovation, the first-ever indulgent light ice cream packed with mix-ins in every bite, takes aim specifically at people who doubt that light ice cream can be as delicious as traditional options." "Halo Top has always been about giving ice cream lovers everything they crave – all the rich, creamy indulgence of traditional ice cream without compromise," Halo Top's Director of Brand Marketing Ryan Roznowski said in a statement. "These new pints take that to an entirely new level by packing mix-ins into every single bite, while still being half the calories of other brands out there," Roznowski added. Halo Top said the brand personally reached out to vocal critics online and has offered them a first taste but will not reveal who those "skeptics" are because "this isn't a paid partnership or promotion." What are the new Halo Top flavors? Halo Top's new flavors, "each crafted to offer layers of texture and taste," include: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Creamy, cookie dough-flavored light ice cream with soft, chewy cookie dough pieces and chocolatey chunks.
