New England Village Foods, Inc. just issued a recall for its “19th Hole Snack Mix” for containing undeclared almonds and an incorrect sesame warning on the label.
Milford, NH-based company announced the recall Monday, saying that all 5-ounce and 10-ounce containers of the mix are affected. This recall is serious business for anyone allergic to almonds or sesame – both allergens can cause severe, potentially life-threatening reactions.
The recalled snack mix was sold in small grocery stores and convenience shops across New England, Pennsylvania, and New York. It came in clear cups and tubs with reclosable lids, marked with UPC 609465693477 for the 5-ounce size and 642147152459 for the 10-ounce, printed in black ink on the lids. Despite containing almonds and sesame, the packaging failed to properly list both in the “Contains” statement, due to which it was recalled when a customer raised the red flag.
It turned out the label did say sesame in its ingredients list, but then completely forgot to include it in the allergen warning list, while almonds weren’t mentioned at all. Following an in-depth review by the FDA, it became evident that the root of the problem was a temporary packaging hitch. That error could have cost people with allergies much more than a lousy snack experience. Fortunately, up until now, no reported cases of illness due to the product have surfaced.
New England Village Foods has stopped production until they sort this mess out. Meanwhile, if you’ve bought the 19th Hole Snack Mix, return it to the place where you purchased it and get a full refund-no questions asked. And if you’re calling to find out what to do or have concerns, the company’s taking calls Monday through Friday from 7AM to 4PM Eastern at 1.603.554.1873.
This recall serves as a poignant reminder that checking snack labels is very important, and even trusted brands can slip up. It’s a sharp reminder that labeling allergens is more than just a formality. When it goes wrong, the consequences can be life-threatening.
