Iowa Candy Company Expands Recall Due To Risk Of Poisoning

Recalled candy items were distributed in Walmart, HyVee, Target, and Dollar General in Iowa, South Dakota, and other states.

The Palmer Candy Company, based in Sioux City, Iowa, announced a candy recall of various Items with a white coating on May 6, 2024, but has now expanded that list. 

This recall is due to the potential for these products to be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria that can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening infections.

The Palmer Candy Company at 311 Bluff St. Sioux City, Iowa was alerted by their supplier of the liquid coating that an ingredient used may have been contaminated with Salmonella by one of the supplier's own vendors.

As a precautionary measure, Palmer Candy is recalling all white-coated candy products that come in various retail packaging such as bags, pouches, and tubs.
