The Wyoming company Queen Bee LLC voluntarily recalled dozens of candy products sold in the past year. The recall covers honey caramel candy products and chocolates that may contain undeclared allergens like milk and tree nuts. People with allergies or sensitivity to tree nuts and dairy could have severe or life-threatening reactions if they consume the candies.

The producers were sold at the company's Queen Bee Gardens store in Lovell, Wyoming, and on their website. The production dates run through April 26, 2022, according to the company's statement published on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's website. During a routine food safety inspection, the undeclared tree nut allergen mistake was discovered. The Wyoming Department of Agriculture is working with Queen Bee to make sure retailers across the state pull the affected products from shelves.

Consumers who bought the candies at Queen Bee Gardens' store can bring them in for a refund. Consumers with questions can call Queen Bee at 1-307-548-2818. There are 52 candies covered under the recall listed below, alongside their PLU codes.

This is the latest candy recall. Last week, TJX Companies recalled chocolates because they may contain milk, even though they are advertised as vegan products. The recall covered Pimlico Confectioners Vegan Fine Hazelnut Truffles, Keats London Vegan Hazelnut Dark Chocolate, and Keats London Vegan Irish Cream Truffles. The products were all labeled "dairy-free," but it was later discovered that they contained undeclared milk because of a manufacturing error.

A milk allergy is among the most common food allergies in children, according to the Mayo Clinic. A reaction can happen moments after consuming milk. Some symptoms include hives, wheezing, itching feeling around the lips and mouth, lip swelling, coughing, shortness of breath, and vomiting. More severe symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, runny nose, watery eyes, and colic in babies. In extreme cases, exposure to milk can cause anaphylaxis, which needs immediate medical treatment.
