Crown Candy Corporation is recalling Old Fashioned Coconut Bon Bons because intermittent labeling errors caused some tubs to be mislabeled with Pecan Divinity ingredients, resulting in an undeclared pecan allergen.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (pecans), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Crown Candy Corporation is recalling 34,008 tubs of Old Fashioned Coconut Bon Bons, Net Wt. 6.5 OZ. (184g), due to an intermittent ingredient statement labeling error. The error occurred at the firm's label printing company, which intermittently applied the ingredient labels for the firm's Pecan Divinity products to the Coconut Bon Bon products. This mislabeling resulted in the Coconut Bon Bon products being sold with an ingredient statement that did not declare the presence of pecans, a common allergen.
The affected products are packaged in 6.5 oz. clear plastic tubs with clear plastic lids. The recall includes specific lot numbers with expiration dates ranging from February 6, 2018, to July 14, 2018. The distribution pattern for these products is listed as VA. The source text notes that the labeling errors were intermittent, meaning not all units of the product may be affected, but consumers cannot reliably distinguish affected from unaffected units based on the packaging alone.
Consumers who have purchased these products should check their lot numbers and expiration dates against the list provided in the recall notice. If the product matches the recalled description, consumers should stop using it and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm or the FDA for disposal or return. Individuals with a pecan allergy should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming any product that may have been mislabeled.
