FDA Recall Update: Choceur Holiday Bark Sold at Aldi for Undeclared Pecans & Wheat
Silvestri Sweets has expanded its voluntary FDA recall of Choceur Holiday Bark after confirming that two seasonal varieties contain undeclared allergens. If you bought a 5-oz bag at Aldi, compare the lot codes below and discard or return any affected product immediately to prevent a serious allergic reaction.
What Triggered the Choceur Holiday Bark Recall?
A short-term packaging mix-up allowed the wrong bark variety to be inserted into similar pouches. As a result, key allergens were missing from the ingredient statement:
- Choceur Cookie Butter Holiday Bark – may contain undeclared pecans.
- Choceur Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark – may contain undeclared wheat.
No illnesses have been reported, but anyone with a pecan or wheat allergy could experience a rapid, potentially life-threatening reaction.
