The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Steve's Gourmet Confections, operating as S&M Products Inc., has initiated a voluntary recall of Dark Chocolate Almonds and Dark Chocolate Banana Chips. The recall is being conducted because a supplier identified an undeclared allergen, specifically milk, in the products.

The affected products include Dark Chocolate Almonds in 6 oz. and bulk formats. The source text notes that no UPC or expiration dates were provided for the recalled items. The recall covers a quantity of 25 lbs. of dark chocolate almonds.

The products were distributed domestically in Indiana, Michigan, and New York. No foreign or VA/DOD distribution is reported. Consumers with these products should check for the presence of milk if they have an allergy or sensitivity, as the allergen was not declared on the label.
