Chocolate Caramels Recalled for Undeclared Soy Lecithin

R & S Roberts Enterprises recalls Milk & Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels due to undeclared soy lecithin used in the releasing agent. The product may cause reactions in consumers with soy allergies.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall involving allergen mislabeling. While soy is a common allergen, the FDA's own classification and absence of reported illnesses keep this in the Moderate category rather than High.
