FDA Warns: Cal Yee Chocolates Pose Serious Health Risk
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has escalated the recall of select Cal Yee Chocolates to a Class I recall, the most serious classification, indicating a significant potential for serious health consequences or death.
A Class I recall is reserved for situations where there is a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause severe health problems or fatal outcomes. In this case, the chocolates have been identified as potentially contaminated with harmful pathogens or substances that could pose immediate health risks.
Key details of the recall include:
- Specific product lines and batch numbers are being investigated
- Consumers are advised to immediately stop consuming the affected chocolates
- Full refunds and replacement options will be available
Health experts recommend consumers check their pantries and verify whether they have purchased the implicated chocolate products. Anyone who has consumed these chocolates and experiences unusual symptoms should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
The FDA continues to investigate the source of contamination and work closely with Cal Yee Chocolates to mitigate potential health risks and prevent future incidents.
