FDA

Recalls / Contributing Factor(s)

  • “The FDA was notified and the recall was voluntarily initiated after it was discovered that the walnut-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of walnuts. No other 7-Eleven products are impacted by this recall..” 1

USDA

Recalls / Contributing Factor(s)

• 9/12/24 – Food – Wiener Products – Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens.
  • “The problem was discovered when the establishment received a complaint from a retailer that the products they received may have been incorrectly labeled. The establishment determined that they inadvertently mislabeled beef wiener products as beef and pork wiener products and vice versa. The products labeled as beef and pork wiener products actually contain beef wiener products that contain soy; therefore, soy is not declared on the finished product label. Additionally, the product labeled as beef wiener products actually contain beef and pork wiener products, therefore, pork is not declared on the finished product label.” 2
