Multistate Recall Issued for Popular Halloween Candy Sold at Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods
The company said a packaging breakdown left milk off the label, and the FDA said people with milk allergies could face serious reactions.
On Aug. 31, 2026, Crystal Temptations recalled various packages of its Halloween Chocolatey Eyeballs sold at major retailers due to undeclared milk allergens. The recall affects consumers with severe milk sensitivities.
An investigation revealed the issue stemmed from a "temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes." A TJX analyst discovered the candy, which contains whey, lacked milk allergen disclosure on its label.
Retailers including Marshalls, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Sierra Trading Post sold the recalled candy across 13 states. Consumers can identify affected products by style numbers and packaging sizes ranging from 7-oz. to 16-oz.
Customers must contact Crystal Temptations directly with proof of purchase for a refund, as the Food and Drug Administration advises destroying the candy. Refunds are not available at original retailers.
Although no illnesses have been reported to date, the agency warns that individuals with severe milk sensitivities could experience a "serious or life-threatening allergic reaction." Those experiencing anaphylaxis should call 911 immediately.
