On Dec. 12, Cal Yee Farmsrecalledsome of its chocolate and yogurt-covered products, including dark chocolate walnuts, yogurt-coated almonds and butter toffee, amid an allergy alert because they may have contained “undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 and almonds.”
The products were distributed in California, Arizona, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, Ohio and Pennsylvania, per thecompany’s announcement.
A Class 1 recall is defined as “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,” per theFDA. The FDA uses classifications — Class I, II or II — to indicate the “degree of health hazard” of the recalled product.
