Halloween Candy Sold at TJ Maxx, Marshalls Recalled in 13 States: Map
Newsweek • • business
Key Points:
- Crystal Temptations is recalling certain packages of Little Temptations Chocolatey Eyeballs sold at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, and Sierra stores in 13 states due to undeclared milk, posing a serious allergy risk.
- The recall affects five different package types with specific style numbers and was initiated after a TJX analyst found whey in the product despite packaging not listing milk.
- Milk is the most common undeclared allergen in food recalls, with about 2% of the U.S. population allergic; reactions can range from mild symptoms to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
- No illnesses have been reported, but consumers who purchased the recalled products are advised to discard them and contact Crystal Temptations for refunds, as stores will not provide them.
- The issue was traced to a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes, according to an FDA announcement.
