Crunchy Cones Chocolate recalled for undeclared sulfites

Borinquen Cones of Puerto Rico is recalling Crunchy Cones Chocolate (12-count, 40oz boxes, Lot 24521) because the product label does not declare the presence of sulfites.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall for a labeling defect (undeclared sulfites). The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and sulfites are not among the highest-risk allergens that would elevate this to High. Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2; this labeling omission warrants Moderate severity given the potential for harm to sensitive individuals.
