Aldi Recalls Holiday Bark Over Allergen Mix-up

Aldi has put out a notice that some of its holiday bark has undeclared allergens due to a screw up in packaging, and consumers are urged to either return or throw away the packaging.

Silvestri Sweets Inc. of Geneva, IL, is voluntarily recalling its 5-ounce bags of Choceur-branded Holiday Barks, which were sold at Aldi and Michigan residents may want to check their bags because they could have the wrong product inside.

Here's what led to the recall, according to the FDA:

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark had been packaged in Cookie Butter Holiday Bark packages, resulting in undeclared pecan, and that the Cookie Butter Holiday Bark has been packaged in Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark packages, resulting in undeclared wheat. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem may have been caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging process.

Which Bags Are Mislabeled

The Cookie Butter Holiday Bark is lot # 29225 and best by date on 05/2026, and the Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark is lot # 29225 and best by date on 08/2026.

Aldi says the holiday barks that were sold were available in select stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

There have been no reports of illnesses, and of course, if you don't have allergies, there really is no worry of getting sick.
