Organic Cocoa-Dusted Chocolate Ginger recall

Recalled by Hummingbird Wholesale · Eugene, OR, United States

Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.

Why it was recalled

Organic Cocoa-Dusted Chocolate Ginger was recalled due to undeclared hazelnuts.

Undeclared allergen: Tree nuts

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.

What was recalled

Organic Cocoa-Dusted Chocolate Ginger, packaged and distributed in 5 lbs. bulk bag. Product was later offered to consumers in a self-serve bulk bin at retail store. The label is read in parts: "***Organic Cocoa-Dusted Chocolate Ginger***Made with Fair Trade 70% Dark Chocolate***Ingredients: Dark Chocolate***Crystallized Ginger *** Cocoa Powder***NET WT: 5 LB***Distributed by Hummingbird Wholesale, Eugene OR 97401***".

Quantity: 4/5 lb. bag

Where it was sold

Oregon

FDA's distribution note: distributed in Oregon only

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to tree nuts; 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.
