A company in California called Innovation Bakers, LLC has freely returned a batch of fudge brownies from 7-Eleven because they might be bad for your health. There is a recall on about 2,100 single-serve brownies that were sent to 7-Eleven shops in Southern California earlier this week.
The cakes were recalled because they might have walnuts in them that weren’t listed, which is very dangerous for people who are allergic to walnuts.
What Is Being Called Back?
A 3.5-ounce pack of 7-Eleven fudge brownies with the barcode number 05254856392 is being harmed. The only ones being recalled are brownies made on a certain day. The “best by” date for the goods is Wednesday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that people allergic to walnuts should not eat these brownies because they could cause serious or life-threatening allergic responses.
Current Status And Advice For Consumers
Currently, there have been no reports of sickness linked to this recall. People who bought the brownies that the FDA is recalling should either throw them away or take them back to the store where they were bought and get a full refund. No other 7-Eleven items are affected by the recall.
Other Recent Recalls Of Food
This recall is part of a bigger trend of recent refunds of food products:
- Recall of Cinnamon goods: Cinnamon goods across the country have been called back because they might contain lead. People are worried about their health because this problem involves lead, which can be very bad for people, especially kids.
- Boar’s Head Meat Products: Some Boar’s Head meat products have been recalled because of an outbreak of listeria that has killed at least one person. Listeria can cause very bad illnesses, and older people, pregnant women, and people whose immune systems aren’t strong enough are especially at risk.
- Eagle Produce Cantaloupe Recall: Whole cantaloupes from Arizona’s Eagle Produce LLC have also been called back because they might have Salmonella. From August 13th to 17th, these cantaloupes were sent to and sold in several states, such as Ohio, Virginia, Texas, Michigan, and Missouri. The UPC number for the cantaloupes that are broken is 4050, and the lot code is 846468. A white and red KANDY sticker on top of the fruit lets you tell them apart.
Health Risks Linked To Recent Recalls
The FDA has pointed out the health risks that come with the recalled products:
- Salmonella: Salmonella can cause serious illnesses in sick children, old people, and people whose immune systems aren’t strong enough. Pain in the abdomen and fever are signs. Healthy people might have less serious signs.
- Lead Pollution: Long-term exposure to lead can have major health effects, such as affecting a child’s ability to learn and grow.
- Listeria: This bacteria can cause dangerous illnesses, especially in older people, pregnant women, and people whose immune systems aren’t strong enough.
In Conclusion
If you bought any of the goods being recalled, you should take the necessary steps to protect your health. Throw away or return the items as directed, and stay up to date on any new information about these recalls. Always read product labels carefully to avoid allergens and risks of contamination.
