Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate, INC. recalled Wilbur Dark Chocolate Triple Covered Malted Milk Balls, 1-pound (lb.) bags, clear plastic bags lot #211007 MB and 210917 MB 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 Nov 18, 2021.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Product recalled because of the presence of undeclared peanuts." 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.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "The product was distributed in the State of Pennsylvania as well as via the company's website." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Lititz, PA. The recall covers 469, one-lb. bags of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 15, 2021), 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.
