Winfield’s Dark Chocolate Recall for Undeclared Milk in Houston, Texas
Five novelty Winfield’s dark chocolate items sold exclusively at Winfield’s Chocolate Bar locations in Houston are being recalled because “milk” was accidentally left off the ingredient label. Anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance should not eat these products; instead, discard them or return them to the store for a refund.

- CBRO Centre LLC

No wholesale, distributor, or out-of-state sales occurred.
Reason for the Winfield’s Recall
“Milk” was inadvertently omitted from the ingredient list. Because milk is one of the eight major allergens identified by the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), proper labeling is required by law.
Health Risks for Milk-Allergic Consumers
Individuals with a milk allergy—or severe lactose intolerance—could experience:
- Hives or rash
- Swelling of lips, face, or throat
- Digestive distress
- Anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction
As of May 8, 2026, no illnesses have been reported.
What to Do with Recalled Winfield’s Chocolates
