Florida Bakery Recalls Animal Crackers for Undeclared Coconut

Plant City, FL August 26, 2022 - Toufayan Bakery is voluntarily recalling Publix GreenWise Animal Crackers due to an undeclared tree nut allergen, specifically coconut  (which we know is not technically a true nut).  Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the production and packaging processes.
