Recall of Skinny Dipped Dark Chocolate Products Due to Peanut Contamination
Skinny Dip is recalling its dark chocolate snack products throughout the United States because they might contain undeclared peanuts, which poses a serious risk for those with peanut allergies.
Bazzini, a co-manufacturer based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, announced a voluntary recall on Wednesday for specific lots of SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites.
This action was taken “out of an abundance of caution” after some consumers reportedly found peanut butter in wrappers labeled as “Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites.” The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has more details.
The FDA clarified that peanuts or peanut butter were not supposed to be included in these products.
According to the recall notice, individuals with peanut allergies “may face serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these items.”
No cases of illness or allergic reactions have been reported so far.
The recalled items were distributed widely through retail stores, and some were given away as free samples.
This recall impacts various package sizes of Skinny Dipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, including 4-count, 10-count, 6-count, 24-count, 32-count, 50-count, and some Easter-themed packaging, all with different lot codes and best-before dates up to December 2026.
You can find the lot code and expiration date on the outer box or individual packaging. More information on the lot codes is available through the FDA.
Customers who have purchased the affected products are advised to return them to the place of purchase to receive a full refund.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact SkinnyDipped at 1-866-957-9907 or hello@skinnydipped.com.
The recall announcement was made by the FDA on Wednesday, and inquiries were sent to SkinnyDipped for additional comments.
Peanut allergies can be very serious, as noted by those who are familiar with them.
For instance, Jordan Hinke, a public relations director from Chicago, expressed concern, saying, “As the mother of a 4-year-old who has had eight anaphylactic reactions involving undeclared allergens, accidental cross-contamination is incredibly scary.”
Hinke shared her experience: “In my son’s case, symptoms often arise quickly, like hives and trouble breathing, but sometimes they don’t show up for hours.” She reflected, “As a parent, I’m always vigilant because if you don’t use the EpiPen right away, it can quickly become a dangerous situation.”
