Trail mix recalled because of undeclared allergens

Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. of Grand Rapids, MI, is recalling a single lot of Frederik’s by Meijer Vanilla Bourbon Trail Mix because it may contain undeclared wheat and soy. 

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat or soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The recalled Frederik’s by Meijer Vanilla Bourbon Trail Mix bags were distributed in Meijer retail stores in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kentucky.

The product comes in a 9-ounce, black bag marked with lot # 6069-1 on the back and with an expiration date of 12/10/26 stamped on the back.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the wheat and soy-containing chocolate-covered pretzel balls were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of wheat or soy, instead of the listed bourbon-flavored caramels. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the production and packaging processes at Ferris Coffee & Nut Co.

Production of the product has been suspended until the FDA, and the company are certain that the problem has been corrected.
