Willy Pete's Chocolates brand Almond Despair recall

Recalled by Willy Pete's Chocolate Company LLC · Harwinton, CT, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

Almonds are not declared in the ingredient statement. Almond is included in description of product on front label.

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.

Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. 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.
