R No Sugar Added; Dark Chocolate 34 g/1.2 oz. Ross Chocolates, 4061 Butters Road, Scotch Creek, BC UPC 726007100054 Best Before: 191018

Platinum Distribution INC recalled R 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 Apr 1, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Manufacturer Ross Chocolates, Coquitlam, BC Canada recalled these chocolate bars as the new labels failed to declare the possible milk allergen." 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 broad: the FDA record describes it as "Nationwide direct to customers," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Wilmington, DE. The recall covers 4,128 bars of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 6, 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.
