URGENT UPDATE: Aldi has issued a nationwide recall of two popular holiday snacks due to serious allergy concerns. The beloved grocery chain is recalling its Choceur-branded Cookie Butter Holiday Bark and the Pecan, Cranberry, and Cinnamon Holiday Bark after undeclared allergens were discovered in both products.
The recall, affecting five-ounce bags of these festive treats, stems from serious health risks related to undeclared pecans in the Cookie Butter Holiday Bark and undeclared wheat in the Pecan, Cranberry, and Cinnamon Holiday Bark. These allergens pose a life-threatening risk to individuals with sensitivities to nuts or wheat.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, the products were distributed nationwide through Aldi stores. The recall was prompted by an investigation revealing a “temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging process,” leading to cross-contamination during packaging.
The specific lot number for the Cookie Butter Holiday Bark being recalled is #29225, with a best by date of 05/2026. Fortunately, no illnesses have been reported at this time. However, consumers who have purchased these items are strongly urged to dispose of them immediately to avoid any health risks.
For further inquiries, customers can reach Silvestri Sweets at 1-630-232-2500. This urgent recall highlights the critical importance of food safety, especially during the holiday season when families gather to enjoy festive treats.
Aldi is committed to ensuring customer safety and is taking swift measures to address this issue. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
