Celebrating America with Chocolate Recalls


What a way to celebrate 2021's Fourth of July! With chocolate related recalls!

Seriously, in earlier times in American history, the idea that the government or even manufacturers were responsibility to try and protect consumers from harmful food and drink products was foreign. I won't push this much, but even today there are people who think we should not protect each other through regulations and legal notices when there are problems. I want each and every one of us to enjoy chocolate in all its forms for a long, health life, so I'll keep sharing these recalls on Sundays as I learn about them.
