When it comes to preparing gooey s’mores, we absolutely adore Hammond’s small-batch vanilla bean flavored marshmallow cubes. However, the confectionery firm is currently in a precarious situation since it failed to declare a milk allergy on another one of its treats, which is the Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones.
Despite the fact that milk proteins are not specified on the product label, the treat includes more than trace levels of the components, which may cause consumers who are unaware of their dairy allergy to experience a potentially harmful response.
In particular, the product that is impacted is the resealable bags of the Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones that are four ounces in size and printed with the label UPC-691355905135 and the item number FC23212. This information was provided by an FDA alert that was released on Thursday.
Customers who may have purchased the product should also check the lot codes, which are located on the back of the bag, at the bottom. This is done to ensure that they are not putting themselves in danger. A lot code of either LN0525453 Use By: 03/20/2025 or LN0525453 Use By: 05/20/2025 is printed on the waffle cones that have undeclared milk content. These lot codes are printed on the waffle cones.
Bacterial contamination is likely to be the first issue that comes to mind for customers when they think of people recalling food products. In many instances, however, packaged food goods are recalled because they include substances that appear to be normal but are not listed on the product label. This is a significant issue for those who suffer from severe food allergies since these omissions are detrimental to their health.
The Jolly Rancher Frozen Confection Popsicles were removed off shelves in September as part of a Class I recall due to an undisclosed milk allergy. The recall affected 146,000 individual packaging units. A Class I recall denotes the greatest level of hazard and the possibility for major adverse health effects associated with the substance.
In this most recent Hammond’s incident, the recall was first initiated when one individual reported developing an allergic response as a result of ingesting the small waffle cones that had the undeclared dairy component. This was the primary cause of the recall.
In light of the fact that this recall is not related to any bacterial contamination, it would appear that foodies who do not have a sensitivity to dairy products are free to have the waffle cone delight without any problems. In any case, the Food and Drug Administration is encouraging those who have purchased the impacted product to return it to the location where it was obtained in order to receive a complete refund.
The affected product has been distributed to stores and online retailers in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, District of Columbia. Hammond’s Candies is a company based in Denver, but the affected product has been distributed there.
