Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo bars are being recalled across Canada because selected packages may contain pistachio that is not declared on the label. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says reactions associated with the affected chocolate have been reported, although it has not disclosed the number or severity of those cases.
Mondelez Canada Inc. initiated the Class 1 recall on July 24, 2026. It covers two package formats sold nationally and online, but only bars carrying the listed UPCs and production codes are affected.
Which Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo bars are recalled?
Consumers should check the size, UPC and code printed on the wrapper or outer box. A product is included only when all identifying details match the official warning.
- 38 g individual bar: UPC 0 61200 01445 7
- 12 × 38 g multipack: UPC 0 61200 01444 0
The following codes apply to both package formats:
- 2026 NO 27 OEC3854844
- 2026 NO 27 OEC3854845
- 2026 NO 27 OEC3854846
- 2027 JA 5 OEC3860215
- 2027 JA 5 OEC3860216
Other Cadbury products and Dairy Milk Oreo bars with different identifiers are not part of the published recall at this time.
Where were the affected bars sold?
The CFIA describes the distribution as national and online. Therefore, matching bars may have been purchased anywhere in Canada or delivered by an online seller.
No supermarket, convenience-store chain or e-commerce platform is identified in the government notice. Checking the wrapper remains necessary regardless of the place of purchase. A separate Costco Canada chocolate recall similarly shows why the exact UPC and package code are more useful than a retailer name.
Why is pistachio missing from the label dangerous?
Pistachio is a tree nut capable of causing an allergic reaction in susceptible people. Symptoms can include itching, hives, stomach discomfort, swelling, vomiting, dizziness or difficulty breathing. A severe reaction may develop into anaphylaxis and require immediate treatment.
This warning concerns an undeclared allergen. It is not a recall for Salmonella, foreign material or spoiled chocolate. That distinction matters because the primary danger is concentrated among people allergic or sensitive to pistachio.
Canada has issued other confectionery warnings involving ingredients missing from labels, including the ZoRaw dark chocolate recall for undeclared milk. In each case, consumers with allergies need to check the complete package details rather than relying on the brand or product name.
Anyone who develops facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulty, faintness or another serious symptom after eating the product should seek emergency medical assistance.

Have illnesses or allergic reactions been reported?
The CFIA confirms that reactions have been linked to consumption of the recalled bars. However, the agency has not published a case total, the locations involved, reported symptoms or information about hospital treatment.
Claims providing a precise number of affected consumers should not be treated as confirmed unless Mondelez Canada, the CFIA or another public-health authority releases supporting information.
What should consumers do now?
Anyone allergic or sensitive to pistachio should not eat a bar that matches the recall details. The product should not be served, sold, donated, used in recipes or passed to another person.
The CFIA advises throwing recalled chocolate away or returning it to the place where it was purchased. A nationwide refund program has not been announced, so reimbursement may depend on the retailer’s policy.
Consumers can contact Mondelez Canada at 1-844-366-1172. The CFIA accepts public enquiries at 1-613-773-2342 and information@inspection.gc.ca.
Latest Cadbury recall update
As of July 27, 2026, the official notice still lists only the 38 g bars and 12-count multipacks identified above. No additional Cadbury varieties, UPCs or codes have been added.
The CFIA is checking that businesses remove recalled stock and is continuing its food-safety investigation. Additional products could be listed if new evidence is found, but an expansion has not been confirmed.
The warning is recorded as recall RA-82405 and CFIA ID 17473. Consumers should consult the official Government of Canada Cadbury recall notice before acting on unofficial product lists.
