It might be in your best interests to stick to flowers when picking out a Valentine’s gift for your loved one this month as the FDA has issued a high risk recall<\/a> on a popular chocolate brand. A recent uptick in product recalls, particularly food products, is something of a cause for concern. No consumer wants to be fearful of every item they purchase but exercising extra caution is perhaps a necessity and a small price to pay to avoid potential health issues.<\/p>\n

However, undisclosed allergens and mislabeled packages pose just as great a health risk to those suffering with severe allergies. The label on a packaged food product is the only means for someone with allergies to know if the item is safe to consume or not and as such it is imperative for manufactures to have strict regulations.<\/p>\n
