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.

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.”

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.

Three chocolate products have been recalled due to the presence of an undeclared allergen, the Food and Drug Administration announced.

The FDA defines a Class 1 recall as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death." The affected products that fall into this new classification include Cal Yee Farms dark chocolate almonds,

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

Undeclared milk in food products can lead to serious health issues for people with milk allergies, including hives, cramps, dizziness, swollen vocal cords and unconsciousness, and cause death, according to the FDA’s update, which was issued on Jan. 22.

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.

Last month, the FDA announced a recall for multiple products from Cal Yee Farm including chocolate and yogurt covered products.
