Food Recall Check
Class II · Moderate risk Terminated Initiated Apr 29, 2014 (12 years ago)

Organic Cocoa Cassava bars recall

Recalled by Mercola Group · Hoffman Estates, IL, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

This voluntary recall has been initiated because the Dr. Mercola Organic Cocoa Cassava bars may contain undeclared milk protein.

Undeclared allergen: Milk

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

Organic Cocoa Cassava bars, 1.59 oz (45 g), individually packaged in foil pouches and sold under the Dr. Mercola brand. Sold at retail locations in display cases containing 12 bars per display case. 12 display cases are packaged in each master case.

Quantity: 98,698 boxes (1,184,376 bars)

Food: Chocolate & candy

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to milk; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
