Plain-English summary

IKEA North America Services, LLC is voluntarily recalling specific dark chocolate bars, including Choklad Mork and Choklad Mork 70%, due to undeclared allergens. The products contain milk, almond, and hazelnut, but these ingredients are not properly declared on the labels.

The recall covers all 'Best By' dates for the affected products, which were sold between April 30, 2015, and July 1, 2016. The recall affects approximately 2.4 million bars distributed across 24 states, including Arizona, California, and New York. The products were produced in Spain for IKEA Food Services.

Consumers with allergies to milk, almonds, or hazelnuts should not consume these products. Individuals who have already eaten the product and are experiencing symptoms should seek medical attention. Consumers can return the product to the place of purchase for a refund.
