Madeline's Pâtisserie recently issued a recall for their beloved chocolate croissants, raspberry croissants, and croissant buns in the US. The reason behind this decision is an undeclared allergen, which can pose a serious health risk.
According to the company's announcement, a specific batch of their ready-to-eat croissants was mislabeled, leading to a potential danger for those with allergies. The ingredient statement on the box stated "flour" instead of the actual allergen, which is wheat. This mistake was brought to light by the US Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday.
The affected products include chocolate croissants and raspberry croissants in 2.5 and 3.5-ounce sizes, as well as croissant buns. These were made between March 10 and May 7 and were sold at four locations in three states - Superior Food Distributors in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Carmela Food Distributor in Fraser, Michigan; Euclid Fish Company in Mentor, Ohio; and Atlantic Food Distributors in Canton, Ohio.
In their official statement, Madeline's Pâtisserie apologized for the inconvenience and assured their customers that they have taken immediate steps to address the labeling error and prevent it from happening again in the future. They emphasized that the safety and trust of their customers are their top priorities.
The company, based in Sylvania, Ohio, has requested their distributors to check for the affected croissants and remove them from shelves. They are also encouraging consumers to contact them for replacements with the correct labels on the boxes.
The voluntary recall was issued on May 15, and so far, there have been no reports of any consumers falling ill from consuming these baked goods. However, as a precaution, Madeline's Pâtisserie is urging anyone with questions or concerns to reach out to them.
It's important to note that people with wheat allergies can experience a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. This can cause throat tightening or swelling, chest pain or tightness, difficulty breathing, blue skin color, trouble swallowing, fainting, and dizziness, according to the Mayo Clinic.
If you or someone you know has purchased any of the affected croissants, it is highly recommended to stop consuming them and contact Madeline's Pâtisserie for further assistance. Your health and well-being are of utmost importance, and the company is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for their valued customers.
