food safety recall round-up 23-29 August
Undeclared nuts force chocolate collection box recall
24 August - USA: Dove Chocolate Discoveries (DCD) is recalling its Dark Chocolate-Covered Fruit Collection boxes marked Item #3265D, lot code #317DAIDS01 because some boxes may contain undeclared nuts.
The recall was initiated when the company received a call from independent Chocolatier (sales representative) indicating that a customer order for Dark Chocolate-Covered Fruit Collection contained Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Dusted Almonds.
The interior packaging is labelled properly indicating a product that includes nuts.
Over the past two weeks, the company has tried to contact all recipients of the affected boxes. However, a number could not be reached, and up to four mislabelled boxes remain outside company control.
It is unique to DCD's home party business and is not available in stores but was distributed throughout home party sales in the US.
