Gardner Pie Company Recalls Key Lime Pies Due to Peanut Contamination

Gardner Pie Company is recalling 163 key lime pies sold in Ohio because the graham cracker crumbs used in the crust may contain peanut residue.

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/contamination (peanut) on a common allergen. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for allergen issues without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Gardner Pie Company is recalling 163 individual 32-ounce key lime pies. These pies were sold exclusively at the firm's retail outlet in the state of Ohio. The pies are packed in a cardboard carton with an aluminum pie pan and a plastic dome lid. The retail pies are not labeled, and customers are provided the flavor of the pie they select for purchase.

The recall was initiated after the firm was notified by their supplier that the graham cracker crumbs used to make the bottom crust of the pies were potentially contaminated with peanut residue. The flour used to manufacture the crumbs is the source of the potential contamination. The same crumbs are also used in the production of cheesecake, but this recall specifically addresses the key lime pies.

Consumers who purchased these pies should check their home for the product. Since the pies are not labeled, consumers should verify the purchase date and location if they are unsure. The source text does not specify a date range or lot numbers, as there are no codes on the pies.
