Wilmington, Delaware-based Wellness Natural USA Inc. is recalling a single lot of its SimplyProtein Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bar citing undeclared cashews, a known allergen, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.<\/p>\n
The product comes in a 15-count variety pack which includes 5 Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bars, and contains two other flavors. The product is marked with a Best Before date of 05 Jan 2024 and Lot TN3005A on the bar wrapper (UPC 6 86207 80906 8) \/ Lot TN3005 (UPC 6 86207 00914 7) on the outside carton.<\/p>\n
The recalled products were distributed in the United States in limited Costco stores in Arkansas, California, Washington DC, Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.<\/p>\n
The recall does not apply to any other lots or varieties of SimplyProtein products, including the other two flavors contained in the 15-count variety pack.<\/p>\n
The agency noted that the product may have the potential to contain trace levels of undeclared cashew. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to cashew may get a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.<\/p>\n
The recall was initiated due to a consumer complaint, which is the only reported reaction to date. The cause of the contamination is being investigated.<\/p>\n
Consumers who have purchased the impacted lot and have a sensitivity to cashew are asked to return them to Costco for a full refund.<\/p>\n
The product and the two other flavors in the carton, which declare cashew as an allergen, are safe to consume for people who do not a have a sensitivity to cashew.<\/p>\n
