The TJX
Companies, Inc. is recalling certain vegan chocolate products because they were labeled as “Dairy Free” but they actually did
contain milk.
People who have
allergies to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic
reactions if they consume these products. The products being recalled are:
- “Pimlico
Confectioners Vegan Fine Hazelnut Truffles” in a 3.88-ounce green plastic
package.
- “Keats
London Vegan Hazelnut Dark Chocolate” in a 4.93-ounce round green plastic
package.
- “Keats
London Vegan Irish Cream Truffles” in a 4.93-ounce round blue plastic
package.
The products
recalled were distributed at TJX retail stores nationwide. TJX operates T.J.
Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, and Homesense.
One illness has
been reported to date in connection with the recalled products. The recall was
initiated after it was discovered that subsequent
investigation indicated that this was caused by a manufacturing error at the
supplier’s facility.
Customers who
have purchased any of the products listed above are urged to return them to the
store at which they were purchased. For more information, click here
