Yogurt Raisins Recalled After Packages Found to Contain Peanuts

Western Mixers Produce & Nut Company of Los Angeles, California is recalling the following item:

Gelson’s Yogurt Raisins, 14 oz. because it may contain undeclared Peanuts. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing Peanuts was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of Peanuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes.

Looks like someone need to implement a Allergen Preventive Control.  This is a huge error either where either the wrong product was packed, the wrong packaging was used, or the clean-out was not executed.
