The food manufacturing company Kayco of New Jersey is recalling one lot of their Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos due to safety concerns regarding undeclared milk in the product. According to the FDA, the company announced the recall on Friday.
Kayco sells their Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos in a 2.47-ounce plastic, resealable bag made to look like a chocolate-filled cone. The front of the bag reads “Conettos” in large lettering with the Glicks brand printed in the lower left corner. The front label describes the product as “Bite Size Mini Cones,” claiming to be “The Best Part!” The lot number specified in the recall is 02092024 with a UPC code of 840762044535. For distributors, the UPC code for the case is 10840762044549. Kayco distributed the product between the dates of October 13th, 2024, and February 14th, 2025, to retailers throughout the United States. Most of the retail outlets selling the product are located in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
As of February 21st, Kayco has not received any reports of illness or injury connected to the recalled Conettos. The company issued the recall when their Quality Control Department determined that several packages of the Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos were packed with Milk Chocolate Conettos. The latter product contains milk, while the former does not. For this reason, packages from the recalled lot of Dark Chocolate Conettos may contain Milk Chocolate Conettos with milk ingredients. The recalled product poses a health risk for customers with milk sensitivities or allergies.
According to the Mayo Clinic, an allergic reaction to milk can cause a variety of symptoms, including skin rash, swelling of the lips or mouth, congestion, gastrointestinal pain, diarrhea, and in the most severe instances, anaphylaxis. Milk is the third most likely allergen to cause an anaphylactic reaction. Such reactions can be fatal without prompt administration of epinephrine. For this reason, accurate food labeling is vital to consumer safety.
Kayco encourages customers who have purchased their Glicks Dark Chocolate Conettos from Lot 02092024 to return the product to the point of purchase for a full refund.
Anyone with questions or concerns about the recall can contact Kayco Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST at 718-369-4600 or by email at Customercare@kayco.com.
