Breaking News: Lovell Chocolatier Recalling Products Due to Allergen Exposure
Written by Andrew-Rossi on April 28, 2022
Queen Bee Gardens recalls many of its candy products after incorrect labeling led to several products being unknowingly exposed to tree nuts and dairy – a severe health risk for those with allergies.
On April 28, 2022, Queen Bee L.L.C. of Lovell issued a voluntary recall of candy products purchased within the last year. The voluntary recall impacts a variety of honey caramel candy products and chocolates that may contain undeclared allergens, including tree nuts and dairy.
People with allergies or severe sensitivity to Tree Nuts (macadamia nuts, coconut, pecans, walnuts, almonds, and cashews) and dairy (milk) may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.
Impacted products were sold at Queen Bee Gardens and distributed nationwide through retail, wholesale, and direct sales, with production dates through April 26, 2022. The undeclared tree nut allergen issue was identified as part of a routine food safety inspection. The incorrectly labeled milk and tree nut allergen was the result of a label review.
The Wyoming Department of Agriculture is working with the facility to contact retailers across the state to remove the affected products and products from this recall are being actively tracked.
Consumers who purchased this product at Queen Bee Gardens can bring the affected product into the store for a full refund. Consumers with additional questions can call 1-307-548-2818 between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm MST, Monday through Friday, to speak with the recall coordinator at Queen Bee LCC.
A complete list of the affected products and their P.L.U. codes is published below.
