Yogurt Covered Raisins Recalled over Undeclared Allergens
January 28th, 2012Eillien’s Candies have issued a recall for several select candy items like Yogurt Raisins, Granola Mix and Cinnamon Granola Mix.
The recall was made necessary due to a probability that the products may contain yogurt-covered peanuts. These items are undeclared in the packages ingredients list and may pose a serious health threat to certain consumers. According to the news, there is a high risk of severe and even life-threatening allergic reactions to individuals who are highly sensitive or allergic to peanuts, since they may consume a package of Yogurt Covered Raisins unaware that it may contain the undeclared allergen.
The finding of the probable mixing of the Yogurt Covered Peanuts with the Yogurt Covered Raisins reported by a consumer prompted the recall. For a full refund, return the recalled product to the store of purchase right away.
As a Los Angeles Lawyer, I’m familiar with the dire consequences undeclared allergens can entail to certain consumers. I’m glad that no illnesses or adverse reactions were reported to the company.
