Business Wire
B&G Foods announced today it is voluntarily recalling a very
limited number of boxes of a single date code of 6 oz. Back to
Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers,
with a “best by” date of APR 25 2021, after learning that a very
limited number of the cracker boxes were inadvertently filled with
foil wrapped pouches of peanut butter cookies, which contain
peanut, an allergen undeclared on the label. People who have an
allergy or severe sensitivity to peanut run the risk of serious or
life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the cookies
contained in the recalled boxes. There is no health risk associated
with this product for individuals without an allergy to peanut.

This recall affects only a very limited number of boxes of the
following product, which may have been distributed in retail stores
nationwide:
Description
Consumer
UPC #
Size
Best By
Date
Back to Nature Organic Rosemary
& Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers
8-19898-01015-8
6 oz.
APR 25 2021
(The “best by” date is located on
the top of the box.)
This recall does not apply to any other “best by” dates,
sizes or varieties of Back to Nature products.
No allergic reactions related to this matter have been reported
to date. This recall was initiated in cooperation with the FDA and
the third party co-packer that produced the product.
B&G Foods discovered this issue when it received consumer
complaints that the foil bags within two boxes of Back to Nature
Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers
contained peanut butter cookies. The foil bags do correctly
indicate whether the product contains rosemary & olive oil
crackers or peanut butter cookies.
A third party co-packer inadvertently used a small number of
Back to Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat
Crackers product boxes in connection with a production run of
peanut butter cookies. Back to Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive
Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers were not produced on that date. As
such, B&G Foods believes this recall impacts only a handful of
boxes of Back to Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil
Stoneground Wheat Crackers. However, out of an abundance of
caution, B&G Foods is issuing this recall for boxes with this
particular “best by” date that have been shipped to its customers.
Product with this particular “best by” date may have been shipped
and distributed by B&G Foods to its customers’ warehouses
located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida,
Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Maine, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled product can return it
to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers seeking a
refund or additional information may also contact B&G Foods by
calling 855.346.2225 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00
p.m. Eastern time or submitting a contact at
