The FDA announced the first of the most recent chocolate recalls on April 28 for Strauss Israel and a wide variety of items under its Elite brand. The affected products sold in the U.S. market include Elite chocolate, cakes, wafers, energy grain snacks, energy chocolate rice cakes, chewing gum, and toffee candies. According to the notice, the company pulled the chocolate items from shelves after salmonella contamination was discovered in a facility that makes the products and some liquid chocolate that inspectors tested.

The agency warns that the affected products were sold nationwide in the U.S. for the kosher market, particularly in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, and California. Other recalled items were also sold online at Amazon, Fresh Direct, Passover.com, and all Retailer Online Sites.

The FDA advises anyone who may have purchased the recalled chocolates not to eat them. Instead, customers should return them to their original point of purchase for a full refund. Anyone with questions can also contact Strauss Israel via Facebook, through its website, or by emailing [email protected].

A day later, on April 29, the FDA issued yet another chocolate-related voluntary recall for H-E-B Bakery Two-Bite Brownies in 12-ounce packages and H-E-B Simply Delicious Cookies with Brownie Bites Party Trays. The items were pulled from the shelf after the company discovered the baked goods could potentially contain metal fragments.

The notice specifies that the affected products were distributed only to H-E-B and Joe V's Smart Shop stores in Texas and Mexico. The agency warns customers who may have purchased the items not to consume the packaged treats and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. Customers with questions or concerns can also contact H-E-B Customer Service at 855-432-4438 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Standard Time.
