More Chocolate Recalls Ending September 2019

As we say goodbye to September, here are some new recalls from the FDA to share with you all.

--------- Recalls ----------

Frozen and Refrigerated Cookie Dough Recalled 

California New Foods has issued a voluntary recall of frozen and refrigerated cookie dough products due to a lack of labeling that addresses the potential for the products to contain peanut and walnut allergens.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity specific to peanuts and tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume products containing the allergens.

The recalled products are not in production and are not currently sold in stores.  Consumers, however, may have the products at home.   The recall was necessitated by a consumer complaint.

Outreach to retailers who received the recalled products has been underway to ensure products are no longer in inventories or anywhere in the stream of commerce.

The following products sold at retail in the state of California are subject to the recall:

Carolyn’s Cookie Co. frozen cookie dough in the following flavors, packaging and date codes:
Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip Toasted Walnut, Double Chocolate with Sea Salt, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk and Snickerdoodle
22 oz. plastic pouch

All date codes beginning September 12, 2019 through March 29, 2020
Country Baking Company refrigerated cookie dough in the following flavors, packaging and date codes:

Chocolate Chip and Happy Trails
24 oz. see-through cardboard sleeve
September 18, 2019 through September 25, 2019

Consumers with peanut and walnut allergies who have the products in their refrigerators or freezers should discard and not consume them.

Consumers may request a refund where purchased.  Consumers with questions may call California New Foods Monday – Friday at (213) 306-7060 during the hours of 9am to 5pm Pacific time.

Trail’s End Chocolatey Caramel Crunch

Weaver Fundraising, LLC (Indianapolis, IN) is voluntarily recalling 15 oz. tins containing Trail’s End Chocolatey Caramel Crunch because they may inadvertently contain almonds, cashews and pecans. Persons who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these tree nuts run the risk of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled products.

The recalled tins of Chocolatey Caramel Crunch were distributed to consumers through Boy Scout councils located in Houston, Texas and Corpus Christi, Texas beginning August 9, 2019. None of the product was distributed through retail stores.

The product is contained in an individual 15 oz. metallized bag within a tin bearing a label stating Trail’s End Chocolatey Caramel Crunch. The inner bag is stamped with the words “ACP CARAMEL”. Applicable labels are attached to this notice.

No illnesses have been reported to Weaver Fundraising, LLC to date. The Company’s ongoing investigation shows that the issue stemmed from an error made by one of its third party packagers in labeling the tins, and the situation has been remediated. No other Trail’s End products are affected by this recall.

Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged to discontinue consumption of the products and return any product to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact Weaver Fundraising, LLC at support@trails-end.com.
