Arizona Company Recalls Yogurt Raisons After Packaging Equipment Potentially Contaminated with Peanut Allergen

Lehi Valley Trading Company of Mesa, Arizona is issuing a nationwide recall of 8,10 and 12.3 oz packages of Yogurt Raisins, because it may contain undeclared Peanut Allergen.  The recall was initiated after it was discovered that equipment used to package this product may have come in contact with product containing Peanut Allergens.

One may guess that this is a situation where the packaging had run peanut-containing product and then without proper cleaning, packaged the non-peanut yogurt raison product.   Clearly an Allegan Preventive Control was not properly implemented at this step.
