SkinnyDipped Recalls Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites Over Undeclared Peanut Allergen

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (May 28, 2026) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that Bazzini, LLC is voluntarily recalling certain lots of SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites due to the possible presence of undeclared peanuts. According to the FDA, consumers with peanut allergies or sensitivities could face serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the affected products.

Specifically, the recall affects a limited number of SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites that retailers and promotional sampling programs distributed nationwide. Regulators identified the issue after a consumer allegedly discovered peanut butter-containing products inside wrappers labeled as coconut almond bites. Consequently, the company launched the recall to prevent potential allergic reactions and protect consumers.

SkinnyDipped recall: quick summary

According to the FDA, SkinnyDipped® sold multiple package sizes and lot codes of Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites across the United States. Specifically, undeclared peanut ingredients may have contaminated products that were not intended to contain peanuts. As a result, Bazzini, LLC, a co-manufacturer for SkinnyDipped®, initiated the recall out of an abundance of caution after receiving a consumer complaint.

Although the FDA has not received reports of illnesses or allergic reactions to date, the agency warned that peanut exposure can trigger severe reactions in sensitive individuals. Therefore, the company urges consumers to stop consuming the recalled products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

What happened?

The FDA said Bazzini, LLC of Allentown, Pennsylvania, initiated the recall after a consumer reportedly found peanut butter-containing pieces inside wrappers labeled as SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites. Subsequently, the company announced the recall on May 27, 2026, in coordination with the FDA.

As a co-manufacturer, Bazzini produces SkinnyDipped® products for distribution nationwide. Specifically, the recall covers multiple package sizes, including 10-count, 6-count, 24-count, 50-count, Easter-themed 20-count packs, and assorted shipper packages containing the affected coconut almond bites.

According to the FDA, retailers distributed the products nationwide, while the company also handed out some products as complimentary consumer samples. Additionally, regulators confirmed that the recall only affects the specific lot codes and best-by dates listed in the notice, whereas all other SkinnyDipped® products remain unaffected.

In its recall alert, the FDA warned that “people who have allergies to peanuts run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.” Furthermore, the agency stated that “peanuts and peanut butter are not intended ingredients in SkinnyDipped® Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites.”

What caused the issue?

According to the FDA notice, peanut-containing products may have mistakenly entered wrappers labeled as coconut almond bites, which prompted the recall. As a result, U.S. regulators continue to classify peanuts as one of the major food allergens because they can trigger severe reactions in sensitive individuals.

Additionally, health experts warn that peanut exposure can cause symptoms ranging from mild hives and digestive discomfort to swelling, breathing difficulties, and anaphylaxis. In particular, children and individuals with diagnosed peanut allergies face the greatest risk.

Meanwhile, the FDA confirmed that no illnesses or allergic reactions had been reported at the time of the recall announcement. Nevertheless, company officials said they issued the recall voluntarily and out of caution after investigating the consumer complaint.

Other relevant recalls

This latest recall follows several recent allergen-related recalls across the snack and confectionery industry. Source86 has previously covered incidents including The Brownie Baker recall of Nouria Banana Nut Muffins after blueberry muffin packaging failed to disclose walnuts, the French Broad Chocolate recall of Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbons due to undeclared walnuts, and Blueroot Health’s recall of Vital Nutrients Aller-C dietary supplements over undeclared egg, hazelnut, and soy allergens. Similar concerns also prompted Karns Foods to recall Mini Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cups because of undeclared peanuts, while Favorina recalled Chocolate Ladybugs German-Style Nougat over an undeclared hazelnut allergen. More recently, Fly By Jing recalled Creamy Sesame Noodles over potential peanut cross-contact concerns. Together, these recalls highlight the ongoing challenges manufacturers face with allergen segregation, packaging accuracy, and labeling controls across complex food production systems.

Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, said the SkinnyDipped recall reflects broader pressures facing food manufacturers.

“Food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust. Every recall reminds us how vital it is to maintain transparency, rigorous checks, and supplier accountability,” Mizrahi said.

Broader pattern

This recall is part of a broader pattern of allergen-related food recalls affecting packaged snacks and confectionery products sold through major retailers. Undeclared allergens continue to be among the most common reasons for FDA food recalls each year, particularly in facilities handling multiple product types or shared production lines.

Industry analysts say the rise in allergen recalls has pushed manufacturers to strengthen traceability systems, labeling verification processes, and quality assurance checks. As consumers increasingly rely on packaged foods marketed for dietary preferences or sensitivities, accurate ingredient declarations have become even more critical.

Ensuring safe eats

The SkinnyDipped recall highlights the importance of strong allergen management systems throughout food manufacturing and packaging operations. In particular, even isolated packaging or labeling mistakes can pose serious risks for consumers with food allergies and create lasting reputational damage for brands.

As a result, consumers should carefully check product packaging and avoid consuming any recalled items. At the same time, the incident reminds food companies to strengthen supplier oversight, batch verification, and packaging controls to help prevent similar issues in the future.
