Colorado Company Recalls Product Due to Undeclared Allergens Again

Bobo’s of Loveland, Colorado is issuing a voluntary recall of Bobo’s Peach Oat Bars because they may contain undeclared coconut.   The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing coconut was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of coconut on the ingredient deck.

This is not the first boo-boo for Bobo's involving incorrect packaging leading to a allergen-related recall.  In 2021, there were two recalls, one for peanuts in Maple Pecan Bars, and the other was peanuts in Almond Butter Bars.  The well developed and implemented Allergen Preventive Control would ensure that labeling errors such as this not occur.
