Halloween candy sold in 13 states recalled
The recall covers five package sizes, and the FDA said no illnesses have been reported as consumers with milk allergies face serious reaction risk.
Crystal Temptations is recalling Little Temptations Chocolatey Eyeballs sold at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Sierra stores in 13 states due to undeclared milk in the candy.
A temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes caused the labeling failure; a TJX analyst discovered the undeclared whey, and no illnesses have been reported.
Identifying affected products requires checking style numbers ending in CHEY, as packaging may carry the Little Temptations brand name; milk allergies affect 2 percent of the U.S. population.
Refunds are not available at retailers; consumers must contact Crystal Temptations directly with proof of purchase, and the company urges households to destroy the product rather than return it.
Families managing milk allergies should verify that epinephrine auto-injectors are current and confirm schools have valid action plans on file before the school year begins.
