Chocolate product sold at Costco recalled in Canada

A product sold at Canadian Costco locations is being recalled due to the presence of undeclared allergens.

The store’s customer service site advises that six-packs of chocolate mousse may contain cashew or macadamia nuts, neither of which are declared on the label.

“These allergens may cause severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions in sensitive individuals,” the notice posted Wednesday said.

As a result, Mellow Food is voluntarily recalling certain lots of the layered mousse labelled “Delici Dubai Style Chocolate Dessert,” according to the recall. The product is advertised as containing pistachios, Belgian milk chocolate, and kadayif.

Affected items came in six-packs of 76-gram containers, with the UPC 812190020825 and the following “best before” dates:

  • BB/MA 27 Feb 26
  • BB/MA 02 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 04 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 05 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 06 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 09 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 11 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 13 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 18 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 25 Mar 26
  • BB/MA 27 Mar 26

It appears from the notice that they were sold between January and February, and have the Costco item number 1990644.

Anyone who purchased the products is advised not to eat it if they have an allergy or sensitivity to cashews or macadamia nuts. Instead, they can return the items to a Costco Warehouse store for a refund.
