Drizzilicious Mini Rice Cake Bites, Popcorn Recalled
Piscataway, New Jersey-based Snack Innovations Inc. is recalling several batches of Drizzilicious branded mini rice cake bites, and drizzled popcorn products in the U.S. citing undeclared peanut, a known allergen, the U.S. Food and Drug administration said.
The recall involves a limited quantity of Drizzilicious Mini Rice Cakes 4oz & .74oz and Popcorn 3.6oz products.
The affected Drizzilicious mini rice cake bites come in various flavors, such as Birthday Cake, Cinnamon Swirl, Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, and Variety in 3-Flavors.
The products are packaged in Drizzilicious branded pillow bags and/or stand-up zip pouches. They were distributed nationwide through retail stores, and online ecommerce sites like Amazon.
The recall was initiated after an ingredient supplier recalled its products after finding an undeclared peanut residue in one of the sub-ingredients used in to make the affected Drizzilicious products.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may get serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
However, the company has not received any reports of illnesses related to the recalled products to date.
Consumers who have a peanut allergy are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
