International Foodsource, LLC, based in Randolph, New Jersey, has announced a recall of 10 oz packages of Southeastern Grocers Dark Chocolate Nonpareils. The recall is due to the potential presence of undeclared milk in the product. Individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
The affected Dark Chocolate Nonpareils were distributed by C&S Wholesale Grocers and reached consumers through retail stores located in Miami, Baldwin, Plant City in Florida, and Hammond, Louisiana.

As of now, no illnesses have been reported related to this issue. International Foodsource was informed by their supplier Weaver Nut Company from Lebanon, Pennsylvania on June 16th that they are voluntarily recalling their Nonpareil Semi-Sweet Chocolate (Christmas Seeds) because it may contain milk not listed as an ingredient or allergen.
The recall was initiated following the manufacturer's decision to recall the product. International Foodsource has not yet received information regarding the root cause or corrective actions from their supplier.
