In the latest instalment of Recall Roundup (14-20 February 2025), New Food highlights recent food and beverage recalls in the UK and US.
In the UK this week, Boundless is recalling its Sour Cream and Onion Flavour Chips (80g), due to the presence of an undeclared milk allergen.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
No illnesses or complaints have been reported to date.
Consumers who have purchased any of the affected products and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents should not consume them. Instead, they should return the product to the store for a refund.
In the US this week, JE Bakery 2019 LLC is voluntarily recalling its Raisin Bran Muffin x 6, due to a labelling error resulting in an undeclared walnut allergen.
The product was mislabelled and instead contains Glorious Morning Muffins, which include walnuts, a known allergen not declared on the label.
The muffins were labelled under the following brands: Cub Foods, Jerrys Foods and Country Market.
No illnesses have been reported to date. However, individuals with a walnut allergy could be at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the mislabelled product.
Consumers who have purchased the affected product should not consume it but should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Company LLC is voluntarily recalling one batch of its Mauna Loa Milk Chocolate Covered Macadamias snack pouches (1oz), due to the presence of undeclared almonds.
No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported to date.
Consumers who have purchased the affected product and have an almond allergy are advised not to consume the product. Instead, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Finally, Naturipe Value Added Fresh LLC is recalling its Berry Buddies Berries & Pancakes bento box snack packs because they contain wheat and eggs that were not declared on the label.
There were 694 cases of the recalled product distributed at Kroger and Meijer retail stores in Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
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 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.
