On Dec. 12, 2024, Cal Yee Farm, a California-based company, announced a recall on a variety of products, including dark chocolate walnuts, apricots and yogurt-coated almonds, after the FDA discovered that they weren’t labeled properly.

Nine states have been identified as being affected by the chocolate recall, but the products were available online so others could have the products as well. Consumers affected bought products from the retail store located at 5158 Clayton Road, Suisun Valley, CA 94534, and online through calyeefarm.com.

The agency warned that the products, made by Cal Yee Farm, could have potentially serious or even deadly consequences because the packages were mislabeled. No illnesses have been reported.

The FDA has updated the December recall of some of Cal Yee Farms' products to the highest risk level classification for three of its chocolate products, warning that exposure or consumption could cause death.

A chocolate recall was recently upgraded to warn consumers of a potential to “cause serious adverse health consequences of death.”

FDA has elevated the recall of certain Cal Yee Farms chocolate products to a Class 1 status, the highest risk level.

In a flurry of recalls throughout January, chocolate lovers should be cautious when selecting their sweet treats. On December 22, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared a recall for Cal Yee Farm chocolate and yogurt products due to undeclared milk.

Echoing a move it made regarding potato chips, the Food and Drug Administration recently raised the alert level for a chocolate recall to the highest risk level due to the possibility of undeclared allergens.
