Winfield’s Chocolate Bar is pulling five dark chocolate novelty treats from shelves at its three Houston shops after discovering the word “milk” was accidentally left off the ingredient lists. The affected shapes read like a candy case lineup: a cowboy, a cat, a teddy bear, a champagne bottle and an Easter bunny, all sold at the Rice Village, River Oaks and Galleria/Tanglewood locations. For anyone with a milk allergy, eating the mislabeled chocolates could trigger a serious reaction.
According to a company announcement posted by the FDA, CBSL Commissary LLC, which operates as Winfield’s Chocolate Bar, started the voluntary recall on Tuesday after spotting the labeling slipup. The firm told the agency that every affected item was pulled from sale and relabeled on April 27, and that none of the product went out to wholesalers, distributors or other retailers. The recall notice also lists the five SKUs and product descriptions so shoppers can double check what they bought.
Winfield’s runs three storefronts in Houston and posts shop information, pickup details and hours on the company’s website. The site highlights the Rice Village, River Oaks and Galleria/Tanglewood locations and includes phone contacts for each one.
