Marich Confectionery Co. Issues Allergy Alert On Potential Undeclared Almonds In Product
Product was distributed
in California, Oklahoma and Minnesota in retail form.
The product can be identified by its Valentine’s Day themed packaging.
It comes in a 4.25oz (120g) bright red and pink box with the product name
of Chocolate Caramel Hearts. The lot code being recalled is 0031711 with
a best by date of 9/30/17 and can be found on the bottom of the package.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing
almonds was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence
of almonds. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused
by a temporary breakdown in the company's packaging processes that
resulted in the packaging mix up.
Consumers who have purchased 4.25oz Valentine
Chocolate Caramel Hearts are urged to return it Marich Confectionery for a full refund. Consumers
with questions may contact the company at 1-800-624-7055 Monday through
Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm PST.
