The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded the recall of certain Cal Yee Farms chocolate products from a Level 2 alert to a Class 1 status, the highest level of risk. The affected products, including dark chocolate walnuts, yogurt-coated almonds, and butter toffee, may contain undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6, and almonds.
These products were distributed across nine states: California, Arizona, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection of the company’s facility.
While no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled products, they have been classified as Class 1 due to a “reasonable probability” that their use may cause serious health consequences or death. Cal Yee Farms has announced the upgraded recall, citing the FDA’s Enforcement Report for the week of January 29.
