FOOD RECALLS

A Nationwide Candy Recall Just Landed in the FDA’s Highest-Risk​

4/9/2026


Got a sweet tooth? Same. For those of you who turn to Nuts.com when the craving for something sweet and salty hits, you’re going to want to pay attention. The FDA has issued a Class I recall for the company’s Espresso Malted Milk Balls after it was discovered that the product contains undeclared allergens.

According to the recall notice, 10,190 pounds of the candy are affected. The Espresso Malted Milk Balls were sold in both one-pound sealed pouches and 20-pound clear poly bags, packed inside cardboard boxes, and distributed nationwide.

The problem is that the product contains wheat and soy, two major allergens that were not properly listed on the packaging. The FDA says the ingredient statement and allergen information failed to disclose either one. For people with sensitivities or allergies to wheat or soy, that kind of labeling issue is not minor. It can lead to serious adverse health consequences or even life-threatening reactions.

The affected candy is listed under SKU Item Name 5106-01. So if you have these malted milk balls at home, it’s worth taking a closer look at the packaging, especially if anyone in your household has a wheat or soy allergy.

At this point, the recall notice does not offer much additional guidance beyond the classification itself, and it remains unclear whether Nuts.com is offering refunds. But at the very least, this is not a candy you should keep casually snacking on if there’s any chance of an allergy concern.

As always with undeclared-allergen recalls, the biggest risk is for people who do not realize the ingredient is there in the first place. So if these Espresso Malted Milk Balls are sitting in your pantry, now would be a very good time to check the label and proceed accordingly.

Over 10 Million Grill Brushes Were Just Recalled For A Major Safety Hazard​


Right as grilling season is on the horizon, there’s a major recall that warrants an inspection of your kitchen utensil drawer.

More than 10.2 million Nexgrill metal wire grill brushes have been recalled nationwide due to a pretty serious safety risk. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the issue comes down to the bristles themselves.

Small metal wires can break off during use, stick to your grill, and end up in your food—which is exactly as bad as it sounds. If swallowed, those bristles can cause internal injuries and may even require medical attention or surgery. In fact, there have already been at least 68 reports of bristles detaching, including five cases where people required medical treatment after ingesting them.

Mercy! Anyone who buys food from a company called "Ajinomoto" deserves metal shavings. Probably safer that what "ajinomoto" actually IS -- a pretty word the Japanese have made up for MSG!

You have to watch VERY CAREFULLY where food is grown, produced, and manufactured these days.

I buy specific brands, because I've contacted these companies to ask them WHERE they get their food sources and WHERE they have food processed and packaged. And if they don't answer each question with "The USA", I don't buy their products.

Yes......there are SOME, but few, that get food sources from Canada and Mexico, but it's limited to being "if we can't get enough form our USA sources, we fill it in with Canada or Mexican sources". And I've tested out their products to see if its something Im happy with spending my money on.

It's easy enough to do and so far, the companies are more than happy to talk to me about where they get their sources, where they are produced and manufactured, and even the exact farms names of buying local sourced foods. And since they are so open about it and more than happy to answer my questions...........I'm more than happy to spend my money on their products.
