Wilbur Dark Chocolate Triple Covered Malted Milk Balls

[GoingNuts]

Cargill is voluntarily recalling 469, one-pound bags of Wilbur Dark Chocolate Triple Covered Malted Milk Balls. Sold locally through the Wilbur Chocolate Store in Lititz, Pa. and online at Wilburbuds.com, the bags are being recalled because it may contain undeclared peanut allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

While packaging the Wilbur Dark Chocolate Triple Covered Malted Milk Balls, a Cargill employee identified a milk-chocolate covered peanut within the malted milk balls and packaging production was immediately stopped. The bag labels do bear a "may contain peanut" statement; however, we are recalling the product in an abundance of caution.

Peanut allergic individuals should not consume the Dark Chocolate Triple Covered Malted Milk Balls.
