Paskesz Candy Company of Brooklyn is recalling its Premium Belgian Chocolate Coins Hologram in .5 oz bags because they may contain traces of milk. Consumers with milk allergies should not consume this product as they run the risk of serious or life-threatening reaction. There has been one report of illness.
A parent reported her child became ill after eating one of these coins with the production code P233. Testing of a sample from that lot by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed that the coin contained .000041 parts of milk (41 parts per million).
Out of caution, Paskesz is recalling all production codes. The product, sold in .5 oz-mesh bags, was distributed nationwide in retail stores between October 2012 and December 2013.
