Gardners Candies has issued a nationwide recall for its Cappuccino Meltaway Bars due to the presence of undeclared cashews, posing a significant risk for individuals with tree nut allergies.
The recall was initiated after the company discovered that the packaging failed to disclose the inclusion of tree nuts. This oversight, attributed to a temporary breakdown in production and packaging processes, led to the distribution of the affected product. Gardners has since suspended production of the product until the issue is resolved.
Details of the Recalled Products
The recalled items include 1.25-ounce packages of Cappuccino Meltaway Bars, marked with lot #082725, and bearing an expiration date of August 27, 2025. These were sold nationwide starting September 1 through retailers and mail orders on Gardners.Candies.com. Additionally, the recall extends to Gardners Meltaway Treat Boxes, which include two Cappuccino Meltaway Bars alongside other flavors, marked with lot #101625 or #112525.
Health Risks Associated with Tree Nut Allergies
Tree nut allergies affect approximately 0.5% to 1% of the U.S. population and can result in severe reactions, including life-threatening anaphylaxis. Individuals with this allergy are advised to carry epinephrine at all times. Tree nuts include cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts, among others.
Consumer Actions
Consumers who purchased the recalled products are urged to contact Gardners corporate office for a replacement. The company has not reported any illnesses related to the affected items.
For assistance, Gardners can be reached at 1–800–242–2639, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.
This recall serves as an important reminder of the risks posed by undeclared allergens in food products and highlights the critical need for accurate labeling to protect public health.
