Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for Never Any! brand ready-to-eat ham and cheese lunch kits. The alert concerns 2.9-oz. plastic tray packages with a Use By date of September 18, 2023, which contain chocolate chip cookies that may contain peanut, a known allergen not declared on the label.

The products were produced between June 27, 2023, and July 5, 2023, and shipped to retail locations nationwide. The issue was identified after the producing establishment was notified by its cookie supplier that the cookies may contain peanut residue. FSIS did not request a formal recall because the products are believed to no longer be available for purchase, though some may remain in consumers' refrigerators.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions. Consumers with a peanut allergy who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Maple Leaf Foods Inc. at 1-877-526-4520 or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854.
