Berry Buddies, Berries & Pancakes bento box snack packs
Company Announcement
Naturipe Value Added Fresh LLC. of Alma, GA, is recalling its 2.1 oz./60 gram packages of "Berry Buddies, Berries & Pancakes" bento box snack packs because they contain wheat and EGGS that were not declared on the label. People who have allergies to WHEAT and/or EGGS run the risk of serious allergic reactions if they consume these products
There were 694 cases of the recalled "Berry Buddies, berries & pancakes, " distributed at Kroger and Meijer retail stores in Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The product comes in 2.1 oz. / 60 grams, colored plastic package marked with lot #1097901 on the top with an expiration date of 2/25/2025. This product is usually found in the refrigerated section of the stores, in the produce or deli departments.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the incorrect back label was placed on the back of the package. Because of this, the allergens of WHEAT and EGGS were not listed on the label. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a production label changeover failure which has since been corrected.
Customers with a wheat or egg allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the affected product are urged not to consume the product and dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase for a full refund. The product is 2.1-oz / 60-gram package of "BERRY BUDDIES, berries & pancakes" with lot code # 1097901
