Tastykake issues voluntary recall of Kandy Kakes
The recall took hold because of undeclared peanuts, and impacts chocolate Kandy Kakes sold in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The parent company of Tastykakes is issuing a voluntary recall of the brand’s chocolate Kandy Kakes due to undeclared peanuts, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
Anyone who has a peanut allergy could be at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction after consuming them, the company said.
The recall by Flower Foods, which owns Philadelphia-based Tasty Baking Co., affects retail customers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia, and West Virginia, and involves products distributed May 11. These chocolate Kandy Kake packages have an “enjoy by” date of June 5, 2023.
Affected products should be thrown out or returned to the point of purchase for a full refund.
Georgia-based Flower Foods discovered that certain packages of chocolate Kandy Kakes actually contained the peanut butter variety, according to the FDA. Peanuts are not on the ingredients list for chocolate Kandy Kakes.
No related incidents have been reported to date, the FDA said.
