Zingerman's Candy Manufactory based in Ann Arbor, Michigan issued a voluntary recall for the two candy bars here after undeclared peanuts and cashews were found in some of the product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported on Monday, Oct. 27, 2025.

Two candy bars have been recalled due to a risk of "life-threatening" allergen just days before Halloween, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
