Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is recalling GONG XIFACAI gift chocolates (238 grams each) distributed in New York City. Laboratory testing conducted by the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets detected undeclared peanuts and milk in the product. Consumers who have purchased or possess these chocolates should dispose of them immediately and avoid further consumption. The recall affects the 189 cases currently distributed in New York City under recall number F-2423-2014.

These findings represent an allergen mislabeling issue involving common allergens (peanuts and milk). According to the recall notice, the product contained undeclared peanuts and milk, which poses a risk to individuals with peanut or dairy allergies. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, the presence of undeclared allergens constitutes a serious food safety concern requiring immediate removal from the market.

Consumers are advised to refrain from using the recalled chocolates and to contact their local health department or the manufacturer for guidance on disposal. The recall does not involve fatalities or require emergency medical intervention, but the allergen mislabeling necessitates prompt action to protect consumer health.
