Chocolate Candy Recalled After Mispackaging Results in Undeclared Peanut

Bazzini, LLC, of Allentown, PA, a co-manufacturer utilized by SkinnyDipped®, is voluntarily recalling a limited number of cases of SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, out of an abundance of caution, due to the possible presence of undeclared peanut allergen.   The recall is being issued after a consumer reported allegedly finding peanut butter containing products in SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites individual wrappers within the 3.17oz. 10-count package. Peanuts and peanut butter are not intended ingredients in SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites

Comment: This appears to be a mispackaging issue where a peanut butter containing product was put into a Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bite.   This is also a co-manufactured item.  We often get questions regarding the degree to which a brand owner needs to be involved with a co-manufacturers development and implementation of policies and procedures, including the Food Safety Plan.  I always err to the side of paranoia.

The recalled products were distributed nationwide and sold through retailers.
