This recall affects only 1,502 cases of the following product,
which were 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 07 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 a consumer
complaint that the foil bag within a single box of Back to Nature
Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers
contained cheese crackers. B&G Foods initiated the recall based
on the results of its investigation after locating a second box in
its warehouse with the same “best by” date that was inadvertently
filled with a foil bag of cheese crackers, potentially exposing
consumers to undeclared milk. The foil bags do correctly indicate
whether the crackers are rosemary & olive oil crackers or
cheese crackers and the outer box provides an allergen advisory
statement indicating that the product is “Made on the same
equipment that processes milk.” However, out of an abundance of
caution, B&G Foods is recalling all 1,502 cases with this
particular “best by” date that have been shipped to its customers.
Product with this particular “best by” date was shipped and
distributed by B&G Foods to its customers’ warehouses located
in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington and
Wisconsin.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products can return
them 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
