WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall by Hammond’s Candies of Denver, CO, affecting their Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones. The recall arises from the discovery of undeclared milk in the product, posing a significant risk to individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities. Consuming these products could trigger serious or life-threatening allergic reactions.

The affected 4-ounce bags have been distributed widely across the United States, reaching states including Alabama, California, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C., via retail outlets and online platforms such as the company’s website and Amazon. Consumers can identify the recalled products by UPC -6 91355 90513 5 and item number FC23212. The product codes LN0525453 Use By: 03/20/2025 and LN0525453 Use By: 05/20/2025 are printed on the lower-center back of the packaging.

This recall follows a report from a consumer who suffered an allergic reaction after eating the product. Subsequent testing confirmed the presence of milk proteins not declared on the packaging. Hammond’s Candies is conducting an investigation to determine the root cause of this oversight.

Consumers who have purchased these waffle cones are advised to return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. For further information, customers may contact Devon DeVries at Hammond’s Candies at 1-888-226-3999 or 303-333-5588, extension 180, Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM MST.
