Product Recall Issued By FDA for Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos

Bayonne, NJ. (February 21st, 2025) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos produced by Kayco. This recall is due to the potential presence of undeclared milk allergens in the product. Individuals with allergies or severe sensitivities to milk may face serious health risks, including life-threatening allergic reactions, if they consume these conettos.

The affected Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos, which weigh 2.47 oz, were distributed across various stores in the United States, primarily in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, from October 13th, 2024, through February 14th, 2025. Additionally, some units were made available for purchase through Amazon.com.

This recall was initiated after Kayco’s Quality Control Department identified that a limited number of bags labeled as “Dark Chocolate Conettos” contained Milk Chocolate Conettos, which include milk allergens that were not declared on the label. Only packages bearing Lot Code 02092024 are at risk of containing milk Conettos mistakenly packaged as dark chocolate.
