sugar free milk chocolate cashew cluster

The Caramel Factory, LLC. recalled sugar free milk chocolate cashew cluster 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 May 18, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Candy, baked goods, and Caramel icing contain undeclared allergens. Undeclared milk and soy (soybean oil and/or soy lecithin)" 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 "Batesville, MS for retail products; LA, MS, TN, AL, GA, KY, AR for caramel icing." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Batesville, MS. The recall covers unknown of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 29, 2016), 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.
