On Dec. 12, 2024, Cal Yee Farm, a California-based company, announced a recall on a variety of products, including dark chocolate walnuts, apricots and yogurt-coated almonds, after the FDA discovered that they weren’t labeled properly.

The FDA defines a Class 1 recall as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death." The affected products that fall into this new classification include Cal Yee Farms dark chocolate almonds,

A chocolate recall was recently upgraded to warn consumers of a potential to “cause serious adverse health consequences of death.”
