OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. -- Ferrara Candy Co. has recalled 5-ounce packages of its Brach's Almond Supremes after discovering that some packages may include peanuts and wheat, which are not declared on the label.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts risk having a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
Consumers are instructed to return opened or unopened product to the retailer for a full refund or replacement. The affected items have a "best by" date of April 22, 2017. The item UPC is 11300 39733.
The packages were distributed throughout retail stores in Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
The company discovered the packages may include Brach's Bridge Mix, which contains peanuts and wheat.
Ferrara Candy determined that the packaging error was caused by an incorrect roll of packaging film being accidentally loaded in one of its manufacturing facilities. It said to date no illnesses have been reported in connection with this issue.
Based in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., Ferrara Candy Co. manufactures branded and private-label confections.
