FDA's June 3 recall index keeps SkinnyDipped dark chocolate coconut almond bites in the active allergen stack, with the reason stated plainly enough for a pantry check: products sold as almond bites may contain undeclared peanuts. [1]

Bazzini, a co-manufacturer for SkinnyDipped, said the recall covers specified lots of individually wrapped dark chocolate coconut almond bites sold in several formats, including 10-count, 6-count, 50-count, 24-count, Easter 20-count, 4-count and 32-count shipper packages distributed to consumers. [2]

The notice says the recall followed a consumer report of peanut-butter products inside coconut almond bite wrappers in a 3.17-ounce 10-count package, turning what could look like a labeling abstraction into a concrete allergy risk. [2]

It also says no allergic reactions or illnesses had been reported as of the May 27 notice, which is useful only if it stays attached to the recall's practical instruction rather than becoming reassurance for people whose allergy margin is zero. [2]

For peanut-allergy households, the useful words are not "abundance of caution" but package size, lot code, best-by date and refund instruction, because one wrong wrapper is enough to make a snack bag a medical question at home, school, camp or a summer car ride today, too.
