Peanut Allergy Prompts Fried Bean Snack Recall

TF Foods of Paramount, CA is recalling its 10.60 ounce packages of “Fried Bean Snack (Na-Pia-Jo)” food treats because they may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. The recalled “Fried Bean Snack (Na-Pia-Jo)” were distributed nationally in retail stores between November of 2015 and beginning of February of 2016. The product comes in a 10.60 ounce, clear plastic bag. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the peanut-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a change in the company’s recipe which added peanuts but not to the labeling of the product.
