People who have allergies to pecans run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark had been packaged in Cookie Butter Holiday Bark packages, resulting in undeclared pecan, and that the Cookie Butter Holiday Bark had been packaged in Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark packages, resulting in undeclared wheat. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem may have been caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging process.
