Walgreens recalled chocolate-covered raisins

Walgreen Corporation is voluntarily recalling certain lots of 13-oz. chocolate-covered raisins sold in its stores because the packages may actually contain Walgreens Bridge Mix with peanut, almond and soy ingredients, the state Department of Consumer Protection announced today.

Some Bridge Mix was mistakenly packaged with chocolate-covered raisin labeling.

Walgreen Corporation has already instructed stores to stop selling the affected product, and the Department of Consumer Protection will assist in recall compliance checks in the state, said Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein.

The recalled product can be identified as a blue and white plastic bag with chocolate-covered raisins pictured on the front and the following identifying information on the back label: Best by date of Oct. 42012A1, UPC number 04902245661, and item number 280217.

Customers who have purchased the product may return it to Walgreens for a full refund.

The affected product was distributed through Walgreen distribution centers in Arizona, Connecticut and California and to Walgreens retail stores in the Northeastern and Western United States.

For additional information, contact Walgreens Product Quality Department at 847-315-2755, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. central time.
