Electric City Sweets, headquartered in Scranton, PA, has announced a voluntary recall of its Red Velvet Milk Chocolate Bars. The recall is initiated due to the presence of undeclared milk in the product, posing a potential risk to individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities.
The decision to recall the affected product follows a consumer report to the retailer, indicating an oversight in the ingredient statement.
