Wegmans Recalls Chocolate Candy Due to Milk Allergen
Wegmans is recalling a type of chocolate candy called Semi-Sweet Chocolate Nonpareils because it doesn't say on the package that it has milk.
If you're allergic to milk and eat this candy, you could get very sick.
The candy was sold in Wegmans stores in several states.
The company is asking people who bought the candy to not eat it and bring it back to the store to get their money back.
This is because the company that makes the candy had a problem, and now the packages aren't correct.
Wegmans issued a recall for Semi-Sweet Chocolate Nonpareils due to an undeclared milk allergen.
The affected product was sold in Wegmans stores across eight states and Washington D.C.
The recall was initiated because the packaging did not list milk as an ingredient.
Consumers with milk allergies risk serious reactions from consuming the product.
Customers are advised to return the product to Wegmans for a full refund.
