The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Milk Chocolate Tasty Treats nonpareils have undeclared milk as the ingredient statement on the package is incorrect."

Plain-English summary

First Source is voluntarily recalling Bristol Farms Tasty Treats Nonpareils Milk Chocolate, 5 oz. plastic pouches, due to an incorrect ingredient statement on the package. The product contains undeclared milk, which is not listed in the ingredient statement despite the product being packaged on shared equipment with dairy products.

The recall involves 86 cases (12 x 5 oz. bags) of the product, identified by UPC 7 97299 00476 4. The product was distributed in Southern California by Bristol Farms in Carson, CA. The ingredient statement incorrectly lists dark chocolate coating, vanilla extract, dry roasted almonds, turbinado sugar, and sea salt, but fails to declare the presence of milk.

Consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities should not consume the product. Those who have purchased the item should check their pantries for the specific UPC and dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase.
