Kayco Recalls Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos
Release Date: February 21, 2023
Recall Reason: Undeclared milk products in certain bags
Product Details:
- Product Name: Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos
- Lot Code: 02092024
Affected Regions:
- Nationwide distribution, primarily in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
Product Description:
The recalled product is a package of dark chocolate Conettos, a crispy waffle cone filled with chocolate ganache. It is certified as "pareve" under kosher dietary guidelines, meaning it does not contain meat or dairy products.
Recall Cause:
During a quality control inspection, Kayco discovered that a limited number of bags labeled as "Dark Chocolate Conettos" actually contained the milk chocolate variety. The milk chocolate Conettos contain milk allergens that are not declared on the label.
Risk to Consumers:
People with allergies or sensitivities to milk could experience severe or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the affected product.
Distribution Information:
The affected product was distributed to stores nationwide through the weeks of October 13, 2024, to February 14, 2025. Additionally, some bags were purchased on Amazon.
Company Response:
Kayco has notified all retailers who purchased the affected lot code and instructed them to remove the product from their shelves. Consumers who have the affected product are advised to return it for a credit or refund.
Steps for Consumers:
- Check if you have any packages of Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos with the lot code 02092024.
- If you have the affected product, do not consume it.
- Return the product to the store where you purchased it for a credit or refund.
- If you experience any allergic reactions, seek medical attention immediately.
Kosher Certification Concerns:
The mix-up in products also raises concerns for individuals who follow kosher dietary rules. Kosher foods that contain dairy products are certified as "dairy" and cannot be mixed with meat products. In this case, the Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos are certified as "pareve," while the Glicks Milk Chocolate Conettos are "dairy." Unintentional consumption of the milk chocolate Conettos could violate kosher dietary practices.
