Summary

Approximately 873,544 units of Lake Champlain Chocolates, including Five Star Bars, Chocolate Selection boxes, and various gift baskets, have been recalled because they may contain small pieces of plastic. The recall includes multiple varieties such as Hazelnut, Granola, and Almond bars, as well as Valentine's Day and holiday collections. Consumers should immediately stop eating these products as the presence of foreign material can cause injury. Affected products were distributed nationwide in all 50 states. If you have any of these items, you should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The chocolate may contain hard plastic pieces that broke off during the manufacturing process. Consuming these fragments poses a choking hazard or the risk of dental and mouth injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your chocolate packaging for the brand name 'Lake Champlain Chocolates' and identify the specific product variety, such as Five Star Bars, Chocolates of Vermont, or Holiday/Valentine gift selections.
  2. Verify the Lot Numbers and 'Best By' dates on the back or side of the packaging. For example, check for Five Star Hazelnut Bars with lot numbers ranging from 20204 (Best By 1/18/2021) to 21008 (Best By 7/7/2021).
  3. Look for specific UPC codes on the package, including 76993300504 (Hazelnut Bar), 76993385318 (Granola Bar), 76993385800 (Almond Bar), and 76993385787 (Galentine Selection), among others listed in the affected products data.
  4. Stop using and do not consume any affected chocolate products immediately.
  5. Return the affected product to the retail store where it was purchased to receive a full refund.
  6. For further questions, contact the Lake Champlain Chocolate Company directly or visit their website for recall updates.
  7. Contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls for additional information.
