Naturipe Value Added Fresh LLC has issued a voluntary recall of its Berry Buddies, Berries & Pancakes snack packs (Lot Number 1097901) due to undeclared wheat and eggs.
The recall was announced on February 18, 2025 and subsequently posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on February 19, 2025. The issue stems from an incorrect label that failed to list wheat and eggs among the ingredients.
The affected products were distributed in 13 states —Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Wisconsin— at Kroger and Meijer stores. About 694 cases have been identified. The company has removed these items from store shelves and is coordinating with regulatory agencies.
