✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

Cacao Art is recalling its Crunchy Caramel artisan dark chocolate because it contains undeclared milk. Although the product lists butter (which contains cream) as an ingredient, the milk component is not declared on the label or in a 'contains' statement. This poses a risk to individuals with milk allergies who may unknowingly consume the allergen.
