Product Description
Company Announcement
New England Village Foods of Milford NH is recalling all lots of 5 -ounce and 10 -ounce containers of New England Village Snacks “19th Hole Snack Mix” because they may contain undeclared almonds. Additionally, sesame is not declared in the “Contains” statement. People who have allergies to almonds or sesame run the risk of serious or life- threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The recalled “19th Hole Snack Mix” were distributed to small independent grocery markets and convenience stores throughout New England, New York and Pennsylvania.
The product comes in 5- ounce and 10- ounce, clear cups and tubs with reclosable lids marked with UPC – 609465693477 (5 oz.) and UPC – 642147152459 (10 oz.) located on the lid of the product printed in black ink.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this issue.
The recall was initiated after a customer discovered that the almond-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of almonds. Additional review by the FDA revealed that the Contains statement did not include sesame, despite being listed in the ingredient statement. Subsequent investigation indicates the issue was caused by a temporary breakdown in the companies packaging process.
Production of the product has been temporarily suspended.
Consumers who have purchased the 5 -ounce or 10 -ounce packages of “19th Hole Snack Mix” are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with any questions or concerns may contact New England Village Foods at 1.603.554.1873 (M-F 7AM to 4PM Eastern)
