A Minnesota candy company is recalling a product sold nationwide because the boxes containing the treats are mislabeled and don’t list nuts as an ingredient, posing a serious health risk to those with allergies.
Abdallah Candies is recalling 8-ounce boxes of “sea salt almond alligators” with a chocolate covered cherries label and the code 0315 on the bottom, the Apple Valley, Minn.-based maker of chocolate, caramels and candy said Tuesday in a notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the recall states.
