The products dont list potentially lethal allergens on the label

Another December recall is getting upgraded after health officials determined a higher risk. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has assigned a Class I threat level to the recall of Cal Yee Farm Dark Chocolate Almonds, Dark Chocolate Apricots and Dark Chocolate Walnuts.
A Class I designation means the recalled product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The FDA says the products contain milk, soy, wheat, and sesame which are allergens not listed on the label.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 (a synthetic dye that gives an orange or yellow color) and almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The products were distributed in California, Arizona, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
How to identify the products
For Cal Yees or Cal Yee Farm branded products, items were packaged in clear plastic zippered pouches in either 8 oz., 1 lb., 2 lb., and 5 lb., size with a bright yellow label identifying the product in front of the pouch, and a small white label containing a UPC code on the back of the pouch.
Dark Chocolate Apricots were packaged in two types of plastic containers with a white or yellow label identifying the product with a small white label containing a UPC code on the back of the containers. Fruit Baskets were packaged in a basket with a yellow label identifying the product on the back of the basket.
The Boa Vista Orchard branded Butter Toffee Almonds was packaged in a 6 oz. clear plastic zippered pouch with a white label identifying the product. A list of the recalled products is shown in the table below.
