The error was discovered after consumers contacted the company and reported finding the white candy pieces mixed with Lily’s Peppermint Flavor Baking Chips. We have determined that the error occurred at a co-manufacturer. The white disc-shaped candy pieces contain soy lecithin, sugar, and other ingredients that are not present in Lily’s Peppermint Flavor chips. Individuals with a severe allergy to soy should not consume this product. 

There have been no reports of illness or injury, to date.  Lily’s is voluntarily recalling the product out of an abundance of caution.

Consumers who purchased affected product are urged to contact the company for a full refund by completing a contact form at https://lilys.com/pages/contact-us or by calling Lily’s consumer contact line at (877)587-0557.
