URGENT: MARS CHOCOLATE NORTH AMERICA ISSUES ALLERGY ALERT FOR SELECT VARIETIES OF COMBOS® FOR POTENTIAL UNDECLARED PEANUT RESIDUE
CustomerProductFeedback@effem.com
Today, Mars Chocolate North America announced a voluntary recall on certain varieties and limited dates of production of COMBOS® Cheddar Cheese Pretzel, COMBOS® Cheddar Cheese Cracker, COMBOS® Pizzeria Pretzel, COMBOS® Sweet and Salt Caramel Pretzel, COMBOS® Pepperoni Cracker and COMBOS® Buffalo Pretzel.
Mars Chocolate North America has initiated the recall after their supplier, Grain Craft, recalled certain lots of wheat flour that has the potential to contain low levels of peanut residue. The COMBOS® Brand products subject to the recall may have been produced using the recalled flour.
Although no peanut residue has been detected in this product, Mars Chocolate is recalling specific lot numbers. While consumers with severe peanut allergies should avoid the recalled products, the FDA has stated that the amount of peanut exposure from the flour is low and not expected to cause adverse health effects in the vast majority of peanut allergic consumers.
To date, Mars Chocolate has received no reports of illness related to the products covered by this recall. No other Mars products are impacted by this recall.
This recall is being made with the knowledge of the Food and Drug Administration.
