Nationwide Recall of Yogurt Parfaits Due to Undeclared Almond Allergen

Nationwide Recall of Yogurt Parfaits Due to Undeclared Almond Allergen

A Pennsylvania-based company has recalled its yogurt parfait products after discovering an undeclared allergen. The granola component of Knockro Inc.’s Bonya-branded low-fat yogurt parfaits contains almonds that were not listed on the label, according to an announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Health Risks Associated with Undeclared Almonds

The FDA has warned that individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds face significant health threats, including severe allergic reactions, if they consume these yogurt parfaits. The importance of carefully checking food labels for allergens cannot be overstated, and this recall underlines the necessity.

Details of the Affected Products

The affected yogurt parfaits were distributed across retail locations throughout the country. These breakfast snacks come packaged in clear, plastic cups, each weighing 12 ounces, and carry an expiration date of May 5, 2025.

Flavors Impacted by the Recall

The recall includes several popular flavors of yogurt parfaits, specifically vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, peach, mango, and blueberry.

Reason for the Recall

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the products containing almonds were inadvertently packaged without the appropriate allergen disclosures. The FDA cited that a subsequent investigation revealed the issue stemmed from a temporary lapse in the company’s production and packaging processes.

Consumer Guidance and Actions

While no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall, consumers who purchased Bonya yogurt parfaits are strongly advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. This proactive step ensures that customers prioritize their safety and well-being.
