The Dark Chocolate Almonds were distributed in Oregon and Washington, arriving on shelves at stores like Safeway/Albertsons and Roths Fresh Market. They come in a 9.5-ounce container and would be found in the produce section of the market.
At Safeway, the almonds are labeled as PRODUCE in large red letters, with Dark Chocolate Almonds in black above the top label. The Roths Fresh Market offering is labeled as Holly Hill Gourmet Snacks Dark Chocolate Almonds, which is a mouthful. Their UPCs are 0 19061 19371 2 and 0 08918 23018 2, with best by dates through Oct. 21, 2023.
The FDA adds that no illnesses have been reported yet and the recall was initiated due to the discovery of the product’s labels didn’t reveal milk as an ingredient. This hopefully cut off any trouble before it could happen.
If you have purchased these products or have a milk allergy in a home where someone purchased them, don’t consume the nuts. Those affected should either dispose of the Dark Chocolate Almonds or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Any questions can be directed to Momyer Distribution at 503-393-3136. The office is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT. The good news is that those without any milk allergens or sensitivity to the ingredients can likely eat the almonds without worry.
