If you recently picked up caramel mini beignets at Costco, take a moment to check the package. Costco has issued a recall after discovering that some containers included chocolate-hazelnut–filled beignets not listed on the label, creating a serious risk for anyone with a tree nut allergy.
Costco recalled certain caramel mini beignets because some packages were inadvertently filled with chocolate hazelnut–filled pastries.
The issue: Hazelnuts (a tree nut allergen) were not disclosed on the clamshell packaging.
Undeclared allergens are one of the leading causes of food recalls in the U.S. For individuals with tree nut allergies, consuming hazelnuts can trigger severe or even life-threatening reactions.
