Plain-language summary
by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
R.M. Palmer Company recalled Creepy Peepers chocolate candy balls (9 oz bags, Lot 066113) because they contain peanut butter that wasn't listed on the front label, even though the back of the candy mentions peanut butter. The bags were labeled as soft caramel filled, which could mislead consumers expecting only caramel.
