Plain-English summary

Cranberry Sweets & More Inc is recalling Peanut Butter Meltaway products that were mistakenly packaged and labeled as Mint Meltaways. The affected products are packaged in clear cellophane bags in 4 oz and 8 oz net weights and bear code 032123.

The hazard is that the product contains peanut butter but peanut is not declared on the package label. The allergen statement lists only Milk and Soy, omitting peanut entirely. This creates a serious risk for consumers with peanut allergies who may consume the product believing it to be a mint confection.

The affected product (300 lbs total) was distributed to retail stores in Oregon and Washington, and sold nationwide through direct mail orders. Consumers who have purchased this product and have a peanut allergy should not consume it and should contact the manufacturer or retailer for a refund or product return.
