Nancy Adams S'Mores Recalled, Allergy Alert Issued

Nassau Candy Distributors announced late yesterday that it has issued a recall and allergy alert for Mini S'mores sold under its Nancy Adams Classic brand.  The treats, says a company press release about the recall, may contain peanuts that are not declared on the products' boxes.

Nassau Candy says the s'mores were sold nationwide.  For folks who are not allergic to peanuts the products pose no safety risk but customers should look for candies with this labeling:

  • NANCY ADAMS Classic MINI S‘MORES, Net Wt. 5.5 oz. (155g), in a red & silver box with a manufacturing code of either I1119 or I1120 under the following UPC 6 18645 21923 9

Nassau says that no allergic illnesses have been reported so far but admit that this recall and allergy alert was originally prompted by a customer compliant about the s'mores containing peanuts.  Nassau says it investigated and found that some boxes of s'mores may, in fact, have been filled with peanut clusters instead of s'mores.

The company also says that retail stores have been notified and the recalled Nancy Adams S'Mores are being removed from store shelves.
