Plain-English summary
Werner Gourmet Meat Snacks, Inc. is recalling Werner Brand Sweet Hot Crunch Mix in 2 oz and 6 oz packages. The recall is due to a labeling error where the product ingredients declare butter, but the allergen advisory statement does not declare milk.
The affected products include the 2 oz size (UPC 7 09972 80120 1) and the 6 oz size (UPC 7 09972 80100 3). The label contains an advisory statement: "This product is manufactured and packaged on shared equipment and may contain: Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Soy, Wheat, Milk or Eggs." However, the specific ingredient declaration for butter toffee peanuts lists butter without explicitly declaring milk in the primary ingredient list, creating a discrepancy for consumers with milk allergies.
A total of 24,318 six-ounce packages and 252 two-ounce packages were distributed in Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. The affected products have a "Best By" date of Jan. 29, 2017 or before. Consumers with milk allergies should avoid consuming these products and check their pantries for the affected UPCs.
