Recall Alert: Hot chocolate products recalled due to undeclared peanuts
Corim Industries has issued a voluntarily recall of various peanut butter hot chocolate products due to undeclared peanuts, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA says the recall was initiated after it was discovered that a replacement flavoring ingredient from a different supplier may have trace levels of peanut that was not declared on labels.
The recalled products were distributed to a limited number of resellers nationwide between January 11, 2021 and November 30, 2022. Only products with “best by” dates between January 11, 2023 and January 11, 2025 are impacted, the FDA said. The “best by date” is marked on the bottom of the carton.
