What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, and the source text explicitly reports one instance of an anaphylactic reaction, which constitutes a serious injury report under the severity rubric.

Plain-English summary

The recall was initiated because the raw material supplier of the chocolate used for the bar coating inadvertently added milk ingredients.
