This may seem like a strange recall, since the product is peanut butter cookies and they are recalled for undeclared peanuts, one of the major food allergens. But it’s the that all allergens need to be declared on the label, and peanuts were not on this label. So Southeastern Grocers is issuing this recall.
The recalled product is two 18-ounce cookie products sold in the bakery. The Variety Pack contains Peanut Butter Cookies, and the 18-count Peanut Buter Cookie did not declare peanuts on the label. These products were sold in all Southeastern Grocery Stores, which include BI-LO, Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarkets and Winn-Dixie stores. These stores are in the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The SLU codes on the products are for all the stores. For the 18-count Variety Pack, the SLU is 5079. For the 18-count Peanut Butter Cookies, the SLU is 69886.s
If you purchased these products and are allergic to peanuts, don’t eat them. Throw them away or take them back to the store where you purchased them for a full refund.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction to a food product can vary from mild to severe. Peanut allergies can provoke the most severe reaction, which is anaphylaxis. Other reactions can include hives, itching and tingling of the mouth, lips, and tongue, and swelling of the fact, mouth, lips, and tongue.
