FDA Classifies Recall of 6,000+ Promotional M&M's for Undeclared Allergens

The agency says the risk stems from third‑party repackaging that omitted required allergen warnings.

Overview

  • The FDA’s Class II action covers more than 6,000 repackaged M&M’s distributed in 20 states, including California, Texas, New York and Florida.
  • The affected promotional packs may contain milk, soy or peanut traces without proper labeling, creating hazards for people with food allergies.
  • The problem involves personalized corporate and event giveaways handled by Beacon Promotions Inc., not standard retail M&M’s production.
  • Consumers should look for Peanut M&M’s labeled “Make Your Mark” lot M1823200 (best by April 30, 2026) or classic M&M’s lots L450ARCLV03, L502FLHKP01, L523CMHKP01 and L537GMHKP01.
  • The recall began January 26 and was classified on February 4, and regulators advise allergic consumers to discard or return the listed promotional packs rather than eat them.
