A recall of five-ounce holiday bark products sold at Aldi stores across the country has been expanded amid concerns that the treats may contain undeclared allergens, including pecans and wheat, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Silvestri Sweets issued a voluntary recall of its Choceur-branded Cookie Butter Holiday Bark over potential undeclared pecans and its Choceur-branded Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark because it may contain undeclared wheat.
The FDA said people with allergies to these items “run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.”

No illnesses have been reported thus far in connection with the recall. Consumers who purchased the impacted treats are urged to discard the product.
The recall was initially issued last month before being expanded this week.
“The expanded recall was initiated after it was discovered that the Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark had been packaged in Cookie Butter Holiday Bark packages resulting in undeclared pecan,” the FDA said.
“Subsequent investigation indicates the problem may have been caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging process,” the agency added.
Cookie Butter Holiday Bark impacted by the recall include those with lot numbers 29225, 28525 or 29925 with the Best By date in May 2026, as well as lot number 30625 with the Best By date in June 2026.
