Two products have been recalled for undeclared peanuts, one of the major food allergens. Peanuts can cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock, in those allergic to that substance. No illnesses or reactions have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The first recall is for Wegmans 9 ounce Yogurt Raisins. That product was distributed at Wegmans stores in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. It was sold from January 16, 2018 to the present.
The recalled item is Wegmans 9 ounce (255 gram) yogurt raisins. It was packaged in a plastic tub. The UPC number is 0 77890 31832 4, with the BEST BEFORE date of 01/05/19. A consumer complaint stating that the product contained yogurt covered peanuts prompted this recall. The company thinks that a pallet of product had some yogurt peanut cases mixed in with the yogurt raisin cases, since the product looks very similar.
The second recall is from eBars of Tennessee. Their products may contain undeclared peanuts and/or almonds. Anyone allergic to tree nuts could have a serious reaction too. No illnesses have been reported to date.
The bars were distributed through Whole Foods stores in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, and through Kroger in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, and Georgia. They were also distributed nationwide through ebars website. The “use by” dates on the recalled products are between June 21, 2017 through July 18, 2018.
The MAN, WOMAN, TRIM, RUN Cocoa Raspberry, RUN Cocoa Almond, GOLF Cocoa Almond, GOLF Cocoa Raspberry that were recalled may contain undisclosed peanuts. Furthermore, all the numbers of FOCUS Chocolate Peanut, HEAL Chocolate Peanut, FIT Organic Peanut Butter Chocolate Raspberry, may contain undisclosed almond. And, the FOCUS 4 Kids Bars may contain undisclosed peanut and/or almond. They are individually packaged in eBars branded foil wrappers. You can see the lot number, use by dates, pictures of the labels, and UPC numbers of the recalled products at the FDA website.
If you purchased these products and are allergic to peanuts and/or tree nuts, don’t eat them. Throw them away or take them back to the store where you bought them for a full refund.
