Dessert recalled in 39 states over fears it can cause ‘life-threatening’ allergic reactions

A brand of ice cream cones have been recalled due to undeclared allergens, health officials announced.

The FDA said Friday that Colorado-based Hammond’s Candies has voluntarily recalled its Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones due to containing undeclared milk.

The agency said: ‘People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.’  

The four-ounce bags were distributed in retails stores in 39 states and had ‘Use By’ dates of March 20, 2025, and May 20, 2025. 

One person has had an allergic reaction to the product. It’s unclear if they were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

The recall was initiated after the sickened consumer alerted the brand. 

The products were then tested and ‘found to contain more than trace amounts of milk proteins, which is not indicated on the packaging,’ the FDA said. 

‘The firm’s investigation is ongoing.’ 

The products were sold on the Hammond’s Candies website and Amazon, as well as unspecified retail stores.  

The FDA urged consumers who have purchased the cones to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
