What this means for you

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.

The agency gives the reason as: "Candy, baked goods, and Caramel icing contain undeclared allergens. Undeclared milk and soy (soybean oil and/or soy lecithin)"
