SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- See's Co. of San Francisco said it is recalling all dark chocolate blueberries due to undeclared milk, which can cause an allergic reaction in some people.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume this product, company officials said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the product was distributed nationwide via See's Candies retail shops, licensees and mail order. The product is sold bulk and packaged at the shops in 8-ounce clear cellophane bags. One illness was reported to date, the FDA said.
