Chocolate Recalled In North Carolina Poses 'Life-Threatening' Risk

If you have a sweet tooth, you may want to listen up. Chocolate bars distributed and sold in North Carolina have been recalled due to the potential for posing a serious risk for certain consumers.

Pennsylvania-based Electric City Sweets issued a voluntary recall of more than 1,600 Red Velvet Milk Chocolate Bars after it was determined there was undeclared milk in the ingredient and allergen statements, according to a recall notice shared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration . This could pose a serious or even "life-threatening" risk of an allergic reaction in consumers with a sensitivity or allergy to milk.

Anyone with a milk allergy should avoid the Electric City Sweet 1.75 ounce Red Velvet Milk Chocolate Bars (UPC 860005974467) with the lot codes 0101461635 and 0101542739, both of which have a Best-By Date of May 2025. No other lot codes or Electric City Sweets products are affected.
