This week's recalls: another bag of chocolate raisins turns out to be peanuts, and two more to check for
Check this one first: chocolate raisins that are peanuts, again
First Street brand Dark Chocolate Raisins, the 9-ounce bag from Western Mixers Produce & Nuts, Inc., may actually hold dark chocolate covered peanuts instead of the raisins printed on the front of the bag. Lot 260562 went out to Cedraui USA and Smart & Final stores in California.
It is not the first time a bag of chocolate-covered raisins has turned out to hide peanuts instead. Same failure both times: the label describes what the bag was supposed to hold, not what a customer might actually pour into their hand. If lot 260562 is in your pantry, check it before it goes anywhere near a snack bowl.
Two more to check for
Fry Pie Factory’s 5-ounce Pepperoni Rolls, sold at convenience stores, grocery stores, and gas stations across Ohio and parts of West Virginia, left milk off the label. The same notice also flags a separate refrigeration process/temperature deviation, unrelated to the allergen problem. No illnesses have been reported.
In the UK, the Food Standards Agency flagged Buttermilk Confections’ Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar for undeclared milk, in the form of casein.

Not medical advice. Every reaction is different, so follow the emergency action plan you built with your allergist; if you do not have one, that is the ask for your next visit. When a reaction is severe or you are not sure how bad it is, do not delay epinephrine, then call for help.
