In a widespread recall, Hammond's Candies is pulling its 4-ounce bags of Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones from shelves in Michigan and 38 other states due to undeclared milk—an ingredient known to cause serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions in some individuals. The recall was announced after the company got wind of a customer suffering an allergic reaction, prompting an inquiry that revealed the confectionery contained more than just trace amounts of milk proteins, as reported by ClickOnDetroit.
For those at risk, an accidental ingestion of milk can trigger a spectrum of reactions, from mild symptoms like rashes and vomiting to severe and sometimes fatal anaphylactic shocks. Consumers who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk should squarely avoid these products, with the recalled bags featuring a UPC code of 6 91355 90513 5, and the Hammond's item number FC23212, states iHeart. For those holding onto the Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones with 'Use By' dates of 03/20/2025, or 05/20/2025, they are encouraged to dispose of them or return them to the point of purchase for a refund.
The FDA has alerted the public to the recall and has issued advice for those who purchased the product to return it for a refund. Anyone with concerns or seeking further details can reach out to Devon DeVries at Hammond's Candies, through the provided contact lines. This information was substantiated by Newsweek, which also detailed the extent of the recall's reach, spanning a total of 39 states including California, Texas, and New York.
