US EditionThousands of Cases of Repackaged M&M’s Recalled in 20 States for Allergen Labeling Issue
The recall affects nearly 6,300 units of M&M's peanut candies repackaged in Minnesota due to undeclared milk, soy, and peanut allergens, posing a Class II health risk, FDA said.
- Beacon Promotions Inc. initiated a voluntary recall on January 26 for repackaged M&M's after a labelling error raised concern over undeclared allergens in 20 U.S. states, the FDA said.
- Under federal labeling law, food labels must identify all major food allergens, and milk, soy and peanuts are three of the nine allergens that must be declared, framing Beacon Promotions' recall.
- Item BB458BG included 5,788 units with lot codes L450ARCLV03, L502FLHKP01, L523CMHKP01, L537GMHKP01 and best-by dates 12/1/2025, 1/1/2026, 6/30/2026, 9/1/2026, while item BB471BG included 541 units with lot code M1823200 and best-by date 4/30.
- On February 4, the FDA classified the recall as Class II, the agency reported no illnesses as of that date and issued guidance for people with food allergies to read labels carefully.
- Repackaged promotional packages carried labels from Adobe and Morgan Stanley, spreading recalled items widely; Mayo Clinic notes milk allergy reactions can be life-threatening and occur soon after consumption.
