Retail display placard for Dilettante Mocha Cafe Alderwood Smoked Bulk Caramels sold in Washington contains inconsistent milk allergen labeling: milk is listed in ingredients but the Contains statement says 'Dairy' instead of 'Milk.'

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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: FDA Class III recall involving minor allergen labeling inconsistency. Milk is declared in the product ingredients statement, but the Contains statement inconsistently says 'Dairy' instead of 'Milk,' potentially confusing consumers with milk allergies. No illnesses have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Dilettante Chocolates Inc is recalling the display case placard for its Dilettante Mocha Cafe brand Alderwood Smoked Bulk Caramels. The product is sold as individual pieces at the firm's retail store locations in Washington.
The display placard posted on the display case lists milk in the ingredients statement but declares 'Contains: Dairy' only. The correct label, as shown on bulk truffle boxes sent to retail stores, states 'Contains: Milk.' This inconsistency may confuse consumers with milk allergies who rely on the standardized allergen Contains statement.
Consumers with milk allergies who purchased caramels from the display case should verify the allergen information or contact Dilettante Mocha Cafe at dilettantemochacafe.com or at the company address in Tukwila, Washington for clarification.
