We are saddened to let you know that trace amounts of dairy have been detected in the dark chocolate we used in certain batches of Mint Chip and Peanut Butter & Chocolate due to cross-contamination at our 3rd party supplier’s facility. Although the amount of dairy present in the chocolate is very low, we are a proudly vegan and dairy-free company and have decided to voluntarily recall the following batches: Mint Chip Exp. date 28JN20, 26JL20, 31AU20, and Peanut Butter & Chocolate Exp. date 27JL20 and 06SE20. If you have an allergy to dairy or are not comfortable with eating any amount of dairy and you have a pint from one of the affected batches, please discard your pint or return it to the store where you purchased it. We are so sorry if we let you down and have doubled down in our commitment to providing you with the safest product possible. Please reach out if you have any additional questions.
