Bazzini LLC — Class I: Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, 3.17oz, Plastic Pouches, 10 Packages per case.
Bazzini LLC has initiated a Class I recall for Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites packaged in 3.17oz plastic pouches due to undeclared peanuts. The enforcement action is currently classified as ongoing.
This recall affects Bazzini LLC, food manufacturers utilizing multi-ingredient nut and chocolate components, and quality assurance teams responsible for allergen declarations in Allentown, PA and distribution regions.
A Class I classification signifies that the FDA determined there is a reasonable probability that exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This suggests a significant failure in the firm's allergen control program or labeling verification process, particularly regarding the cross-contamination or mislabeling of peanut-containing ingredients in a product primarily marketed with almonds and coconut.
Conduct an immediate audit of allergen labeling controls for products containing tree nuts to ensure secondary nut allergens are disclosed. Verify that supplier material safety data sheets (MSDS) or specifications for chocolate and almond components match the final product labeling requirements.
Class I. Reason: Undeclared peanuts. Product: Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, 3.17oz, Plastic Pouches, 10 Packages per case.. Firm: Bazzini LLC (Allentown PA United States). Status: Ongoing.
