If You Bought D’Dioses Fruit Paletas: FDA Allergy Alert for Undeclared Milk + Nuts
If you bought D’Dioses 3.7 oz fruit paletas from De Dios’s Ice Pops II LLC, check the flavor before you eat or share them. The FDA has issued an allergy alert because some select paleta flavors may include undeclared milk and nut ingredients (pecans and/or pistachios), along with color additives Yellow #5 and Red #40. The company says no illnesses were reported.
What FDA says the risk is (and why “allergy alert” matters)
An allergy alert means consumers—especially anyone with a food allergy—should take extra care. In this notice, FDA reports that some affected D’Dioses fruit paletas may contain allergens that are not declared on the label.
Specifically, FDA describes the possible presence of:
- Undeclared milk
- Undeclared pecans and/or pistachios (tree nuts)
- Yellow #5 and Red #40 color additives
If you or a household member avoids milk and/or tree nuts, treat these affected paletas as a do not eat / do not serve situation until you verify the exact flavor is not included.
Products and flavors to check
FDA’s allergy alert covers D’Dioses 3.7 oz fruit paletas (De Dios’s Ice Pops II LLC). The FDA notice identifies the following affected flavors:
- Strawberry (or Strawberries)
- Guava
- Mango
- Pineapple
- Watermelon
Important: Only the flavors listed by FDA are addressed in this alert. If your package shows a different flavor, follow the label and your household’s allergy plan—but do not assume unlabeled information is safe.
Where it was sold
According to the FDA notice, the D’Dioses 3.7 oz paletas were distributed to retail stores in NJ, NY, PA, and CT. If you shop in (or near) those states and have a freezer stash, now is a good time to check what you bought.
What to do now (refund + freezer steps)
- Stop eating the affected flavors. Do not taste them “just a little,” especially with allergy-prone household members.
- Keep them out of reach of anyone who has milk and/or nut allergies.
- Return them for a full refund. FDA reports that consumers should return the affected paletas to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- Check your freezer stash. If you have any of the affected flavors, remove them from the “ready to serve” area. Don’t refreeze or serve them while you’re waiting to contact the retailer.
For the rest of your freezer: the alert is specific to the flavors listed by FDA. It’s still smart for allergy-prone families to avoid cross-contact risks that can happen in real kitchens (like shared utensils or “test bites”). When in doubt, choose caution and follow your healthcare professional’s guidance for allergy symptoms and exposure decisions.
Quick family-safety tips for allergy-prone households
- Make a “no serve” note. Label the affected items (or the bag you set aside) so it’s clear they’re not for snacking.
- Skip taste tests. Even tiny amounts can be risky for some people with allergies.
- Double-check before sharing. If kids bring snacks to school or a grandparent’s house, confirm the flavor matches what’s safe for your household.
