Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. Recalls Frederik’s by Meijer Vanilla Bourbon Trail Mix Due to Undeclared Soy and Wheat Allergens
Introduction
Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. has started a voluntary recall of one production lot of Frederik’s by Meijer Vanilla Bourbon Trail Mix (9-ounce bags) because the product may contain undeclared soy and wheat, which creates a risk for consumers with allergies to these ingredients. The recall was announced through a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) alert on Thursday.
Main Body
The recalled product is sold in black 9-ounce bags with lot number 6069-1 and an expiration date of December 10, 2026, printed on the back. These bags were distributed to Meijer stores in six states: Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The recall began after the company discovered that chocolate-covered pretzel balls containing wheat and soy had been placed into the trail mix bags instead of the listed bourbon-flavored caramels. An internal investigation blamed the mistake on a temporary breakdown in Ferris Coffee & Nut Co.’s production and packaging processes. Soy and wheat are among the nine major food allergens that the FDA requires to be listed on product labels. Eating undeclared allergens can cause allergic reactions from mild discomfort to life-threatening anaphylaxis. As of the alert date, no illnesses related to this recall had been reported. Production of the affected trail mix has been stopped until the FDA and Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. confirm that the main problem has been fixed. The company has urged consumers who bought the product to throw it away or return it to the store for a full refund. The FDA noted that most recalls in the U.S. are done voluntarily by manufacturers, and the agency’s role includes reviewing recall strategies, evaluating health risks, monitoring progress, and informing the public as needed. This recall is the fourth in April of a product recalled due to undeclared allergens. Other recent examples include a recall of Wawa-branded beverages for undeclared milk and a recall of Schreiber Foods’ Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread for Einstein Bros. Bagels due to mislabeling.
Conclusion
The recall is still ongoing, with no reported health problems so far. Consumers in the affected states are advised to check their purchases against the lot number and expiration date and to take appropriate action if they have the recalled product.
