Product Description

Sour Patch Kids, 1.9 lb bag

Reason for Recall

Mondelez Global LLC is initiating a recall because remnants of a half peanut shell were found in two containers of bulk candy from a single lot during the repacking process and the candy is not labeled as containing peanuts. Mondelez Global LLC after an investigation, including inspection of product within in their control from the same lot did not find any other evidence of peanut contamination. The firm believes this is most likely to be an isolated incident and that product on the market is unlikely to contain any peanut pieces and the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences to peanut allergic consumers. No adverse health events have been reported. Never the less, out of an abundance of caution, we have determined to conduct a voluntary recall to the retail level.
