Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. Recalls Frederik’s by Meijer Vanilla Bourbon Trail Mix
Introduction
Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. is recalling a trail mix. The trail mix has soy and wheat. The label does not say this. People with allergies to soy or wheat can get sick. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) told people about this on Thursday.
Main Body
The trail mix comes in a black 9-ounce bag. The bag has the lot number 6069-1. The expiration date is December 10, 2026. The company sold these bags at Meijer stores in six states: Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The company found a mistake. Workers put chocolate-covered pretzel balls into the bags. These pretzel balls have wheat and soy. The label said the bags had bourbon-flavored caramels. The company said the mistake happened because of a problem in their production process. Soy and wheat are two of nine major food allergens. The FDA says companies must list these on labels. Eating these allergens can cause problems. Some people get sick. Some people can die. No one has reported getting sick from this trail mix yet. The company stopped making this trail mix. They will start again only after the FDA says it is safe. The company asks people to throw away the trail mix or return it to the store for a full refund. The FDA says most recalls in the U.S. are done by companies. The FDA helps check the problem and tells people.
Conclusion
The recall is still happening. No one has gotten sick. People in the six states should check their bags. If they have the recalled trail mix, they should throw it away or return it for a refund.
