a popular hershey’s chocolate product has been recalled across canada.
hershey’s kisses — specifically, creamy milk chocolate — are being recalled due to possible presence of almonds not indicated on the packaging, the canadian food inspection agency (cfia) said in an advisory.
the voluntary recall was triggered by the company after it received one reported reaction linked with consumption of these products, the notice stated.
two sizes of packages — 104 g (upc code 0 56600 62076 6) and 200 g (upc code 0 56600 20203 0) — both of which have best before dates of june 1, 2027 are affected.
the codes possibly affecting kisses in the 104 g packaging are:

customers with allergies or sensitivities to tree nuts are advised to not consume the chocolate “as they may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction,” the agency said.
consumers are also advised to not serve, use, sell or distribute recalled products.
recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased, according to cfia.
anyone with questions, concerns or require more information can call hershey consumer relations at 1-800-468-1714 or email information@inspection.gc.ca.

recent costco recall

the recall comes after mondelez canada last week voluntarily recalled cadbury dairy milk oreo candy bars sold at costco canada.
“people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to pistachio may risk serious allergic reactions by consuming this product,” the notice from the retailer warned.
