Tastykake recalls some Kandy Kakes because the package label may be wrong

Patriot-News - 5/25/2023

Flower Foods has issued a voluntary recall of some of its Tastykake Kandy Kakes.

Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes have been found to be wrapped in Chocolate Kandy Kake packaging. The ingredient list on the chocolate snacks does not include peanuts - an allergen, according to an announcement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.”

The Kandy Kakes were distributed on May 11 in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia and West Virginia. The snacks have an “enjoy by” date of June 5. The UPC number is 0 25600 00225 4.

“The recall was initiated after the firm discovered that certain packages of Tastykake Chocolate Kandy Kakes contained Tastykake Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes. The ingredient statement for the Chocolate Kandy Kakes does not declare that peanuts are in the product. No related illnesses or incidents have been reported to date.”

People who are allergic to peanuts should not eat the Kandy Kakes with the recalled UPC code and expiration date of June 5.

People who bought the recalled Kandy Kakes can return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
