WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a significant food safety alert, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of Hammond’s Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones. This action comes after the discovery of undeclared milk in these products, posing a serious health risk to individuals with milk allergies.
Hammond’s Candies, based in Denver, Colorado, has issued the recall after receiving a report of an allergic reaction. Subsequent testing revealed the presence of milk proteins not declared on the packaging. The recall is specific to 4-ounce bags of the mini waffle cones, which were distributed across a wide range of states, including Alabama, California, New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C., both through retail outlets and online platforms like Hammond’s official website and Amazon.
The affected products are marked with UPC -6 91355 90513 5 and item number FC23212. Consumers can identify the recalled items by checking for the product codes LN0525453 with “Use By” dates of March 20, 2025, and May 20, 2025, prominently displayed on the lower-center back of the packaging.
The serious nature of this recall arises from the potential for severe allergic reactions, which can be life-threatening for those with milk sensitivities. Hence, Hammond’s is urging consumers who have purchased these products to return them to the point of purchase for a complete refund.
For further assistance or inquiries, consumers are encouraged to contact Devon DeVries at Hammond’s Candies at 1-888-226-3999 or 303-333-5588 extension 180, available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. MST. The company’s investigation into the root cause of the labeling oversight is ongoing,.
