Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has announced a recall of certain candy bars due to undeclared allergens. The recall affects Zingerman’s Peanut Butter Crush Full Size Bars with Lot#174250, which may contain cashew not listed on the label, and Zingerman’s Ca$hew Cow Full Size Bars with the same lot number, which may contain undeclared peanut.
These products were distributed to retailers in Michigan and New York and sold directly to consumers through retail stores. The Peanut Butter Crush Bars are packaged in yellow and purple 2 oz boxes labeled "Peanut Butter Crush" with Lot #174250. The Cashew Cow Bars come in light blue and yellow 2 oz boxes labeled "Cashew Cow" with the same lot number.
No illnesses have been reported so far. According to Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory, “The recall was initiated after it was discovered that Peanut Butter Crush Bars containing cashews were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of cashews. It was also discovered that Cashew Cow Bars may have been distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the production and packaging processes. Steps have been taken to ensure this problem has been resolved.”
People who are allergic or sensitive to peanuts or cashews could face serious health risks if they consume these products. Customers who purchased either product from Lot#174250 are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
