Dark Chocolate Almond Bark 5oz &1lb Clear plastic tubs

Nutco INC. DBA Germack Pistachio CO. recalled Dark Chocolate Almond Bark 5oz &1lb Clear plastic tubs in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Oct 30, 2017.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Germack Roasting is voluntarily recalling its Dark Chocolate Almond Bark 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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Unknown, firm would not provide a customer list, but identified there were mail order customers in their press release." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Detroit, MI. The recall covers 220 lb of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 20, 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.
