dark chocolate peanuts, 8.5 oz.

Ruckers Makin Batch Candies recalled dark chocolate peanuts, 8.5 oz. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Oct 31, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Rucker s Wholesale & Service Co . initiated a voluntary recall on 10/31/2017 of Uncle Buck's and Family Choice Dark Chocolate Peanuts following a supplier's recall due to undeclared allergen milk." 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 "Domestic: AL AZ CA CO IA ID IL LA MA MN MO NC NE NH NY OH SD TX VA WI WY." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Bridgeport, IL. The recall covers 1,944 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 22, 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.
