Sometimes, it can be more serious, especially for kids, elderly people, or those with a weaker immune system. If you have any of the recalled candies, it's better to be safe and get rid of them.

They have customer service representatives ready to help out. You can call them at 712-258-5543 on weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Central Standard Time.
Remember, it's always better to be cautious when it comes to food recalls. Throwing out or returning a few candies is worth it to keep you and your family healthy.
