A batch of candy sold at Universal Studios in Orlando could have deadly effects if consumed by someone with an allergy.
Rucker's Making Batch Candies, Inc., a company out of Bridgeport, IL, has issued a voluntary recall on The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium Dark Chocolate Coffee Beans candies due to an undeclared milk allergen.
People who have a severe allergy or sensitivity to milk allergens run the risk of serious or life threatening reactions if they consume this product.
Rucker's issued the recall after being notified by their supplier the products were distributed in packaging that didn't reveal of the presence of the allergen.
