Does anything say “cozy” quite like steamy mug of hot chocolate? Making your own rich, European-inspired blend with dark chocolate melted straight into milk is a good way to know exactly what you’re getting in those ingredients. That’s especially true as a recent recall is flagging a concern for powder mixes after one company has halted distribution of their instant hot chocolate mix due to a potentially hazardous manufacturing error.

On October 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of 692 cases of Aroma Vita Hot Cocoa Mix, distributed by DYMA Brands, Inc., an Atlanta-based company. Each case of hot cocoa contains 12 pouches weighing two pounds each. The items bear the following identifying details:

• Product UPC Code: 71908500070
• Case UPC Code: 50719098500075
• Lot Codes: Lot 263 ECA and Lot 264 ECA

The recall was initiated when foreign material was found within the cocoa blends—the FDA’s notice explains what seems to have happened: “After an investigation, the firm discovered that a sifter used in the production of the Dextrose for each product was damaged and introduced metal fragments in the products.”

DYMA Brands is a foodservice supply company that distributes its products to restaurants, cafes, cafeterias, and other industry establishments. The company describes the products as “perfect for foodservice restaurants, convenience stores and beverage vending operators. It is a rich, creamy, and comforting hot cocoa blend that can be enjoyed with just the addition of hot water,” they wrote in a product description.

The affected product was distributed in 30 states: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. The products do not appear to have been marketed directly to consumers.

In a December 2 update, the FDA announced that the incident has been identified as a Class II recall, the second-highest risk level in their three-tier system. This suggests consuming the product could cause “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

If you believe you have purchased the affected hot cocoa, do not consume or serve it. Customers with questions about this recall can contact the company directly by phone.

If you’re concerned you are experiencing adverse health effects as a result of consuming the product, contact your licensed medical provider and report the issue via MedWatch, the FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.
