Recall Summary

First Source recalled Bristol Farms Tasty Treats -Nonpareils Milk Chocolate; 5 oz. plastic pouch in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Sep 20, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Milk Chocolate Tasty Treats nonpareils have undeclared milk as the ingredient statement on the package is incorrect." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Southern CA only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Pico Rivera, CA. The recall covers 86 cases (12 x 5 oz. bags) of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 18, 2017), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.

Reason for Recall

Milk Chocolate Tasty Treats nonpareils have undeclared milk as the ingredient statement on the package is incorrect.
