Reason for recall
Herd of Turtles confection dark chocolate is recalled because pecan is listed on the Ingredients statement but it is not listed in the Contains statement.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
