Naturipe Value Added Fresh LLC of Alma, GA, is recalling certain “Berry Buddies, Berries & Pancakes” bento box snack packs because they contain wheat and eggs that were not declared on the label.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the incorrect back label was placed on the back of the package. Because of this, the allergens of wheat and eggs were not listed on the label. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a production label changeover failure which has since been corrected.
