Food & Drug Administration Issues Recall for M&M’s Due to Potential Allergy Risk

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for “repackaged” M&M’s on Tuesday, February 3 due to a potential allergy risk brought about by labeling issues.

The FDA says that 6,000 units of 1.3-ounce promotional packs of M&M’s that were repackaged for numerous companies and organizations such as Subaru, Adobe, Xfinity, and Morgan Stanley, and may contain branding for them on the labels.

These candies, distributed by Minnesota-based Beacon Promotions Inc. throughout 20 states – including New York – may contain undisclosed allergens, including milk, soy, and peanuts, that could cause a Class II (temporary or medically reversible health effects) allergic reaction in some venerable individuals.

The packages in question have the following lot codes/”best by” dates:

Peanut M&M’s:

Regular M&M’s:

The M&M’s should be safe for those without allergies to consume, the FDA says.
