The recall is significant due to the presence of undeclared milk in a product often assumed to be dairy-free. A major ZoRaw chocolate recall has been issued on May 5, 2026, affecting consumers across Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced that the affected product is the ZoRaw 72% Cacao No Sugar Added Dark Chocolate – Extra Dark. This recall applies to single bars and multi-packs of the product, which were distributed across Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and online.
Consumers should be particularly cautious. Single bars weigh 52 grams and have the UPC code 6 28678 98703 6. Multi-packs contain twelve bars of the same size, with UPC code 6 28678 98706 7. Affected codes include multiple dates in 2027.
This recall was triggered by improperly declared milk in the chocolate—an alarming oversight for a product marketed as dairy-free. Consumers with milk allergies are advised to avoid consuming this product immediately.
Key facts:
- The CFIA issued a nationwide recall notice.
- Undeclared allergens can cause severe reactions in sensitive individuals.
