RECALL: Boxes of Plain Theater M&Ms Actually Contain Peanut Butter

M&M-Peanut-Allergy-Recall

The Food and Drug Administration has issued a voluntary recall on Theater Boxes of M&Ms. The box features a plain original design for the chocolate candy, albeit with the words peanut butter marked on the individual packages. This may be confusing for consumers who are used to the bright-orange packages the peanut butter M&Ms are usually sold in.

Because of those with severe peanut allergies, the FDA has issued the recall in case anyone overlooks the label and confuses the plainly designed bag for classic M&Ms. So far, 36 lots of the candy have been recalled. M&M aficionados with peanut allergies are advised to review the FDA released  lot numbers for the boxes distributed.

It should also be mentioned that one should always take a quick look at whatever foods they’re putting into their mouths.
