The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issues a nationwide recall of Hershey Kisses due to the potential presence of undeclared almonds. In a recall notice dated Aug. 1, CFIA says the recall is initiated by the company. The agency indicates there is the potential for undeclared almonds in the affected products and notes that one reaction has been reported in connection with consumption of the recalled items.
Global News reports that Hershey’s Canada recalls some products in its Creamy Milk Chocolate Kisses line after a report of an allergic nut reaction. The allergic reaction is linked to a person who experiences symptoms after eating the candy, which prompts the recall.
Taken together, the reports indicate that the recall centers on allergy risk from almonds that are not declared on the product, and that it is based on at least one reported allergic reaction. The CFIA notice provides the regulatory basis for the nationwide action, while the company’s report describes the product line and the reason given for initiating the recall.
