Mount Franklin Foods, LLC, doing business as Azar Nut Company of El Paso, Texas, is voluntarily recalling 7-Select Yogurt Pretzels because they may contain peanuts, one of the major food allergens, that is not declared on the label. Anyone who is allergic to peanuts could have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they eat this product. No illnesses for allergic reactions have been reported to date in connection with this issue.
The recalled product is 7-Select Yogurt Pretzels that are packaged in 5 ounce printed plastic pouches. The lot number and best by date combinations printed on the package are lot number YR20140 and best by date May 19, 2021; and lot number JT20147 and best by date May 26, 2021. Those numbers are printed on the bottom left front of the bag. The pretzels were sold nationwide in retail 7-Eleven stores.
The company initiated the recall after discovering that a peanut-containing product from a third party supplier was mixed with pretzels during the repackaging process of the 7-Select Yogurt Pretzels. The problem was caused by an isolated incident. Production of the product is suspended until the company and the FDA are sure that the problem has been corrected.
