Nestle® USA Issues Allergen Alert on Single Production Code of Nestle® RAISINETS® Fun Size Bags

GLENDALE, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ --Nestle USA's Confections & Snacks Division is initiating a voluntary recall of Nestle® RAISINETS® Fun Size Bags (10oz) with a production code of 02015748/UPC number 2800010255, which may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have allergies or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. Nestle is taking this action out of an abundance of caution.

Nestle® RAISINETS® Fun Size Bags (10oz) with a production code of 02015748 were distributed only in the U.S. to Target, Shop Rite and Don Quixote retail stores.  Three complaints have been received to date.  While this product is labeled with a precautionary statement "made on equipment that also processes peanuts," the product should not, but may contain some peanuts that are not declared on the label.
