Another day, another recall update: In December, the FDA announced that Cal Yee Farm LLC, a California-based company, recalled its chocolate and yogurt-covered products due to potential undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C No. 6 and almonds.

The recall affected 20 products sold in nine states and online. At the time, no illnesses had been reported.

Now, as of Jan. 22, the FDA has upgraded the recall to a Class I, the most serious classification, indicating "a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death," ABC News reported.

If you have any Cal Yee Farm chocolate or yogurt-covered products, dispose of them immediately or contact the company for a refund or credit.
