United States
Chuao Chocolatier is voluntarily recalling a single production of Potato Chip mini bar .39oz/11-gram LOT 4022 because some packages may contain undeclared hazelnuts. This recall is limited to one lot code (4022) of the Chuao Chocolatier Potato Chip mini chocolate bar (.39 oz. bar), which was sold nationwide (excluding Hawaii and Alaska) in retail stores and online in the United States. There has been one reported customer who has experienced a mild allergic reaction to this product.
People who are sensitive or have allergies to hazelnuts could be at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
No other Chuao Chocolatier products are affected by this recall.
The product being recalled is the following:
Product Description: Potato Chip mini bar, Item UPC: 872629006615, Lot Code & Best by date (found under the flap on the back of packaging): Best by 22 FEB 25 4022.
A picture of the consumer package label is attached. The label does reference “Manufactured in a facility that uses tree nuts and wheat on shared equipment.”
The recall was initiated after it was discovered hazelnuts were inadvertently added to the product during manufacturing and the lot produced was distributed in packaging that does not reveal the presence of hazelnuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by cross-contamination on a piece of shared equipment.
Consumers who are sensitive or have allergies to hazelnut should not eat this product.
In case you experience harm from allergens or undeclared ingredients, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
