Cheesecakes, oyster crackers recalled for possible peanut residue

Two additional recalls have been announced due to the possible presence of undeclared peanut residue in the Grain Craft flour used to make the recalled products.

Kellogg Company of Battle Creek, MI, and Snyder’s-Lance Inc. of Charlotte, NC, are recalling respectively, graham cracker crumbs used to make certain SpartanNash brand cheesecakes and Lance brand oyster crackers.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating all these flour-related recalls.

Kellogg announced Tuesday that it was recalling certain graham cracker crumbs containing Grain Craft flour. The graham cracker crumbs were used in certain lots of cheesecakes produced by SpartanNash’s central kitchen facility in Grand Rapids, MI.

The recalled cheesecakes had a sell-by date of June 6-21, 2016, and are no longer in the stores, the company stated. Consumers with severe peanut allergies should avoid these recalled products, which include:
