A recall was issued on Friday for Dove-brand chocolate snowflakes that might be mixed in with Snickers, Milky Way or Twix pieces.
The announcement states, this is a seasonal item only sold at one major retailer with stores across the U.S.
The release states, the item is a purple 24 oz. bag clearly marked with DOVE® Chocolate Assortment Snowflakes branding on the front of packaging.
The code dates and UPC code are located on the back of the packaging on the lower right side.
Approximately 6,700 cases of this item may contain some SNICKERS®, MILKY WAY® and TWIX® pieces that contain peanuts, wheat and/or eggs, but these ingredients are not listed on the outer package ingredient label.
People who have allergies to peanuts, wheat and/or eggs have the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
No adverse reactions have been reported to date.
According to the release, the item was shipped and distributed to only one retailer and sold at retail food stores starting September 19, 2015 through December 1, 2015 to the following locations: AZ, GA, MA, MS, OH, VA, CA, IA, MD, NH, OK, VT, CO, IL, ME, NJ, OR, WA, CT, IN, MI, NM, PA, WI, DE, KS, MN, NV, RI, WY, FL, KY, MO, NY and TX.
