Eating a copious amount of desserts during the holiday season is an essential activity. However, you may want to avoid some of your favorite sweets this year. The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers against eating almond kringles brought from Trader Joe's, as a factory mistake may affect people with allergies.
According to the Dec. 18 FDA announcement, Almond Kringle sold in Trader Joe's retail stores had to be recalled because they "may contain undeclared pecans." The manufacturer, O&H Danish Bakery, Inc., recalled 3,173 units of Almond Kringle that were delivered to Trader Joe's stores in Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, and Alabama.
"The recall was initiated because it was discovered that four pecan filled kringles were incorrectly labeled as Almond Kringle and delivered to the Trader Joe's distribution center as a part of a larger order. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's baking and icing processes," the FDA report read.
However, not all Almond Kringles from Trader Joe's are at risk. The affected products are packaged in white wax paper, marked specifically with the code #26720. This code can be found on the upper right-hand corner of the product's nutritional label.
"If you purchased the Almond Kringle with the specified batch code from a Trader Joe's store in one of the nine states listed and have a pecan allergy, please do not eat it," the FDA warned consumers. "We urge you to discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe's for a full refund."
Customers can also send a photo of the product label to get a replacement product delivered straight to their homes by emailing a Trader Joe's account created specifically for the recall.
