Hershey Kisses Recall in Canada Over Undeclared Almonds

Hershey Canada quietly launched a recall this week after discovering that certain packs of its Creamy Milk Chocolate Kisses might contain almonds that weren’t declared on the ingredient list. It’s a small hiccup for a big brand, but for anyone with a nut allergy, it’s a serious concern.

The recall covers two package sizes – 104‑gram and 200‑gram tubs – both stamped with a best‑before date of June 1 2027. Hershey provided a list of lot codes that are affected; the full list lives on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) recall webpage.

According to the CFIA’s notice, there’s been one reported reaction linked to the consumption of the product. While that number is low, the agency says it’s enough to warrant pulling the items from stores and urging shoppers to double‑check their pantries.

If you happen to have a box of the recalled Kisses at home, the safest move is to toss them out or return them to the place where you bought them. The recall also says retailers should remove the candies from shelves, and distributors are to stop any further shipment.

For those with almond allergies or sensitivities, this is a reminder to stay vigilant about food labels. Even a tiny slip‑up in labeling can have big repercussions for someone with a severe reaction.

Hershey has said it’s working closely with the CFIA to ensure the issue is resolved quickly and that future packaging will clearly list all allergens. In the meantime, the company apologizes for any inconvenience caused to consumers.
