Inadvertent Peanut Contamination - Mojave Foods Corporation is initiating a voluntary recall of El Guapo Chile Habanero and Chile Pasilla-Ancho pouches due to an unlabeled peanut allergen. While no reason was stated, one would guess this was a cross contact issue involving a wrong ingredient or perhaps a processing line that was inadequately cleaned.
Supplier Issue Results in Undeclared Peanuts - RXBAR is voluntarily recalling certain varieties of bars because they may contain undeclared peanuts. From the release, "RXBAR identified the potential for peanut in two varieties – Chocolate Sea Salt and Coconut Chocolate – in December and initiated a recall of those varieties. We are expanding the recall out of an abundance of caution after recently receiving consumer contacts regarding allergic reactions to additional varieties. Our investigation concluded that the issues stem from a specific ingredient supplied by a third party. We immediately changed suppliers for this ingredient when the issue arose."
