Holiday Bark Sold at ALDI Stores Recalled for Undeclared Allergens
Silvestri Sweets Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of two holiday bark products sold exclusively at ALDI stores nationwide after discovering they may contain undeclared allergens. The recalled items include Choceur Cookie Butter Holiday Bark and Choceur Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark, both packaged in 5-ounce stand-up pouch bags.
According to the company, Cookie Butter Holiday Bark may contain undeclared pecans, posing a potentially serious risk to individuals with pecan allergies. Likewise, the Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark may contain undeclared wheat, which could cause severe allergic reactions in people with wheat allergies.
Both products carry lot #29225. The Cookie Butter variety lists a best by date of May 2026, while the Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon variety lists August 2026. The items were distributed across ALDI locations nationwide.
Silvestri Sweets reports that no illnesses have been linked to the recall. The issue was discovered after the company found that some batches were packaged in the wrong bags, leading to undeclared allergens. Officials say a temporary breakdown in production and packaging processes is believed to be the cause.
Consumers who purchased either product are urged to discard it immediately. Anyone with questions can contact Silvestri Sweets at 1-630-232-2500, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST
