Company Announcement
BonBon - A Swedish Candy Co. of New York, NY is recalling every Marabou Sea Salt chocolate bar, because it may contain undeclared almonds, wheat, and nuts. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds and wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
Marabou Sea Salt was distributed in BonBon retail stores located at 130 Allen St, 1220 Lexington Ave and 705 Driggs Ave in New York City and was sold alongside other imported packaged goods.
The product can be identified by the 'Marabou' trademark font and logo, yellow plastic packaging and the word 'havvsalt:' the Swedish word for 'sea salt.' The product is a flat chocolate bar (9" x 4") and weighs 185g. The expirations and production codes of the implicated inventory is 04.09.2024 and 09.11.2024 as well as OUV0134912 and OUV0140643.

The packaging disclosed the product contained "traces of nuts and wheat." On May 8, 2024, BonBon was informed of the recall by our distributor, Ert Godis, and the product was removed from the sales floor and subsequently destroyed at every retail location.
Consumers who have purchased Marabou Sea Salt are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 212-786-0094, Monday through Sunday from 10am-12am.
