STRATHAM, N.H., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Premium Swiss
chocolatier Lindt & Sprungli is voluntarily recalling one
product lot of its 6.4 oz Chocolate Covered Raisin Bags and 6.4 oz
Chocolate Covered Almond Bags sold in nine Lindt Chocolate Shop
locations in the U.S. between January 23 and
March 16, 2015. Lindt is issuing this voluntary recall due
to concerns about the potential presence of undeclared
hazelnuts. People who are allergic to hazelnuts run the risk
of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume
these products.
This voluntary recall affects the following products:
- Chocolate Covered Raisin 6.4 oz standup bag with a lot code
L2975 and a best before date of 4-30-2015
- Chocolate Covered Almond 6.4 oz standup bag with a lot code of
L2975 and a best before date of 4-30-2015
Consumers can find the lot codes on a white sticker placed on
the back of the bag. Codes begin with the letter "L."
Lindt is issuing this voluntary recall after learning that a
limited number of bags (56 bags or less) of these two products were
mistakenly labeled and may contain hazelnuts. No allergic reactions
have been reported to date. The impacted bags were available for
purchase at the following nine Lindt Chocolate Shops between
January 23 – March 16, 2015:
