Urgent recall of dark chocolate almonds over 'life-threatening' health risk
Dark chocolate-covered almonds have been recalled in the US because they may contain another nut not declared on labels. The American supermarket chain Meijer is recalling some packages of its Frederik's Dark Chocolate Almonds as they could also contain dark chocolate-covered cashews. 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashews run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product,' states an announcement published Monday by the nation's agency ensuring food, drugs and products are safe for the public. The affected almonds came in black stand-up pouches with sell by dates of May 7, 2026, or May 28, 2026, and eight-count, 1.5-ounce multi-pack boxes with the sell by date of May 5, 2026. They were sold at Meijer stores in six states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Meijer initiated the recall after being notified of the issue by a customer. There have not been any reports of customers becoming sick from eating the almonds. Customers who are allergic or sensitive to cashews should return the item at any Meijer store for a full refund. Anyone with health concerns should contact a doctor, and those with questions on the recall should reach out to the supermarket chain. More Trending Meijer is a family-operated and privately owned company with more than 500 grocery stores and supercenters across the Midwest. 'As the pioneer of the one-stop shopping concept, more than 70,000 Meijer team members work hard to deliver a friendly, seamless in-store and online shopping experience featuring an assortment of fresh foods, high-quality apparel, household essentials, and health and wellness products and services,' states the company's advisory shared by the US Food and Drug Administration. It comes nearly two weeks after another grocery chain, ALDI, recalled its Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream because they could contain undeclared milk. The sweet treat was sent to 13 states. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
