B&G Foods officials said Back to Nature Cheddalicious Cheese-Flavored Crackers with a “Best By” date of SEP 05 2022, were pulled after learning that a limited number of the cracker boxes were inadvertently filled with foil-wrapped pouches of animal-shaped crackers which contain egg and milk — ingredients which are not declared on the package label.
Company officials said people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg or milk run the risk of severe or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the animal-shaped crackers contained in the recalled boxes. There is no health risk associated with this product for individuals without eggs or milk allergies.
No allergic reactions related to this matter have been reported to date. This recall was initiated in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the third-party co-packer that produced the product.
B&G Foods discovered this issue when it received a consumer complaint that a foil pouch within a single box of Back to Nature Cheddalicious Cheese-Flavored Crackers contained animal-shaped crackers. The third-party co-packer inadvertently filled a limited number of Back to Nature Cheddalicious Cheese-Flavored Crackers product boxes with another food company’s animal-shaped crackers.
The recall affects 1,855 cases of the product, and does not apply to any other “best by” dates, sizes, or varieties of Back to Nature products. Out of an abundance of caution, B&G Foods is recalling all the cases, which were distributed across twelve states, including New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York.
Skippy Foods LLC is voluntarily recalling 161,692 total pounds of SKIPPY® Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread, SKIPPY® Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter Spread and SKIPPY® Creamy Peanut Butter Blended With Plant Protein due to the possibility that a limited number of jars may contain a small fragment of stainless steel from a piece of manufacturing equipment.
The “Best If Used By” date is MAY 04 2023. There have been no consumer complaints associated with this recall to date, and all retailers that received the affected product have been properly notified.
The manufacturing facility’s internal detection systems identified the concern. With an emphasis on the quality of its products, Skippy Foods, is issuing the recall out of an abundance of caution and is ensuring that consumers are made aware of the issue.
