M&M’s have been recalled in 20 states, the Food and Drug Administration revealed Wednesday. The popular chocolate candies were repackaged by Beacon Promotions Inc., and initially recalled on Jan. 26 due to undeclared milk, soy, and peanut allergens. The FDA gave the recall the second-highest risk level, Class II, as the M&M’s can cause severe allergic reactions in people with milk, soy, or peanut allergies.
You won’t find these M&M’s at the store—the candies were repackaged and distributed for marketing purposes by Beacon Promotions Inc.
The recall applies to 1.3-oz bags of peanut M&M’s labeled as “Make Your Mark,” with lot code M1823200 and a best-by date of April 30, 2026.
The recall also includes 1.3 oz bags of regular M&M’s with different company names, such as “Subaru,” “Adobe,” and “xfinity,” with the following product information:
- Lot L450ARCLV03; best by Dec. 1, 2025
- Lot L502FLHKP01; best by Jan. 1, 2026
- Lot L523CMHKP01; best by June 30, 2026
- Lot L537GMHKP01; best by Sept. 1, 2026
You can see the full list of companies labeled on the products in the FDA’s report.
The recalled M&M’s were distributed in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The FDA did not provide specific instructions for this recall. It’s unlikely that the recalled products were sold in stores, so there’s no need to check your pantry. People with milk, soy, or peanut allergies may want to avoid any M&M’s they didn’t personally buy, just to be safe.
