These boxes are marked with the “Best By” date “AUG1218LT2,” the UPC code “076840657940” and the lot number “AUG1218LT2.”
People who are allergic to peanuts and peanut butter could experience life-threatening reactions if they consume this product. They should return either return the product to the place of purchase or throw it away.
