May 15, 2024: From the Buffalo Vaad Hakashrus (BVK):
"As part of their periodic review of their product offerings, Tops has decided that they would like to change which products are Va'ad-certified to meet their operational needs. The BVK is happily assisting Tops to ensure that the procedures in place will allow for the most expansive list of Va'ad-certified bakery products, along with a new BVK sticker that will allow for easier identification by the Kosher consumer as to which items are BVK-certified.
"As a result, the BVK and Tops are resetting the Kosher protocol in the bakery. Until the new list of certified products is published, products from the Bakery at 3980 Maple Road should not be considered Va’ad-certified until further notice. The goal is to have everything reset at the Bakery in the next few weeks with new Kosher stickers and signs to reflect the updated Kosher offerings.
"Additionally, Tops customers should refrain from purchasing any fresh Chametz products until after May 15th and shelf-stable Chametz products should not be bought until after May 25th. There are no issues with buying Chametz from the Okonov’s Deli section."

May 3, 2024 from the FDA:
Chuao Chocolatier is voluntarily recalling a single production of Potato Chip mini bar .39oz/11 gram LOT 4022 because some packages may contain undeclared hazelnut.
This recall is limited to one lot code (4022) of the Chuao Chocolatier Potato Chip mini chocolate bar (.39 oz. bar), which was sold nationwide (excluding HI and AK) in retail stores and online in the United States. No other Chuao Chocolatier products are affected by this recall.

|---|---|---|
| Potato Chip mini bar | 872629006615 | Best by 22 FEB 25 4022 |
A picture of the consumer package label is shown below. The label does reference “Manufactured in a facility that uses tree nuts and wheat on shared equipment.”
The recall was initiated after it was discovered hazelnuts were inadvertently added to the product during manufacturing and the lot produced was distributed in packaging that does not reveal the presence of hazelnuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by cross contamination on a piece of share equipment.
Consumers who are sensitive or have allergies to hazelnut should not eat this product and should discard any product they may have. Consumers should contact the company at (760) 814-6230 or support@chuaochocolatier.com to get more information about the recall. The customer service line is open 24 hours a day and Consumer Relations specialists are available Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST.
