What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (undeclared milk) on a product labeled as vegan, which fits the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens.'
Plain-English summary
G. Debbas Chocolatier, Inc. is recalling Professor Zim Zam's Extraordinary Sweets Dark Chocolate with Rice Crisps. The product is distributed by Go Picnic Brands in Chicago, IL, and is labeled as 'All Natural, 55% Cocoa.' The recall involves 107,500 units currently at a customer warehouse in Chicago, IL.
The recall was initiated after two consumer complaints reported allergic reactions to Zim Zam products packed in a picnic-type lunch that declares the contents are vegan. G. Debbas Chocolatier does not claim its facility is vegan, as the company manufactures products containing milk. This creates a risk of undeclared milk allergens for consumers relying on the vegan label.
Consumers who have purchased this product should check their pantry for the specific Zim Zam Dark Chocolate with Rice Crisps. If found, they should stop consuming the product and contact the recalling firm for further instructions or a refund.
