The Weaver Nut Company issues a recall of multiple chocolate products.

It was found that the company had failed to disclose a key ingredient that is a major allergen and could cause serious health problems and even death.

The FDA explained that the packaging on certain batches of chocolates from the company failed to declare milk allergens.

“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the impacted products,” Weaver Nut Company announced.

Two chocolate products are included in the nationwide recall but each have several lot numbers that shoppers must look out for.

Anyone who discovers that they have an affected product and a milk allergy must not consume the sweet treat.

Instead, they should throw it away immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Shoppers across the country must pay attention as the company supplies multiple retail and grocery store outlets nationwide.

The following two items are those that have been affected by the recall:

Nonpareil, Semi-Sweet Chocolate (Christmas Seeds) Nonpareils, Semi-Sweet Chocolate (White Seeds)

So far no illnesses linked to the undeclared allergens have been reported.

The company discovered the error when a wholesale customer complained that their delivery did not match up to the new product specification.

This was then “followed by a lab test to confirm the milk presence,” Weaver said.

“Weaver Nut Company is working with the FDA and is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of its products,” the company added.
