Latest News About Chocolate Recall

Here are the latest chocolate recall updates I can share based on recent reporting:

• Tony’s Chocolonely recall: In 2025, Tony’s Chocolonely voluntarily recalled seven batches of two flavors (Dark Almond Sea Salt and Everything Bar) after reports of small stones in the bars. The recall was classified as a Class II event by the FDA, indicating potential temporary health effects but unlikely for serious outcomes. Consumers were advised not to eat the affected products and to return or discard them.[1]

• Cal Yee Farm recall elevated to Class I: A Bay Area producer, Cal Yee Farm, had chocolate-covered snacks and nuts recalled, with the FDA upgrading the action to a Class I recall, the highest risk level, due to undeclared allergens (milk, soy, almonds) that could cause severe or fatal reactions. No illnesses have been reported yet.[2][5]

• Other recent recalls involving undeclared milk allergens: Reports in early 2025 noted multiple chocolate products receiving Class I recalls for undeclared milk allergens across several states, signaling heightened caution for people with milk allergies.[3]

• Salmonella-related recalls in 2026: In January 2026, Spring & Mulberry expanded a recall of several mint-flavored chocolate bars after routine testing detected Salmonella; no illnesses were reported at the time. This recall was part of a broader FDA warning about potential contamination.[4][6]

• Ongoing recall landscape: Coverage from ABC News and other outlets highlighted the FDA’s role in classifying recalls by risk level and providing guidance to consumers, with emphasis on checking product lot codes and disposing of recalled items if you’re unsure about their status.[5]

Quick practical tips:

• Check the FDA recall notices and the manufacturer’s official recall announcements for the latest lot numbers, flavors, and affected dates.
• If you have any recalled chocolate at home, stop consuming it and return to the store or dispose of it per the guidance.
• If you have allergies, especially milk or other undeclared ingredients, verify ingredient lists carefully and watch for recall updates.
