Hammond’s Candies Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanut in Salted Caramel Cookies

October 17, 2022 from the FDA:

Hammond’s Candies of Denver, CO is recalling 5-ounce boxes of Hammond’s Salted Caramel Cookies, because they may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The product was distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders.

The recalled Hammond’s Salted Caramel Cookies are packaged in a 5-ounce printed cardstock box, with UPC -6 91355 89889 5. Hammond’s item number for this product is CK15008. The recalled product code, “Best By: 6/29/2023A" can be found on a sticker and it is located at the lower-right corner of the back of the box.

The recall was initiated after a routine product check revealed that peanut-containing product had been packed and distributed in incorrect packaging, which did not declare the presence of peanuts. Further investigation has determined the root cause to be a temporary failure of the manufacturer’s packing and product release process.

Consumers who have purchased 5-ounce packages of Salted Caramel Cookies from the described lot are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Devon DeVries at Hammond’s Candies at 1-888-226-3999, Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm MST.

South African Kosher Alert - Tiger Brands Jelly Tots

June 10, 2021: From the South African Beth Din in response to a question from a reader:

Jelly Tots, unfortunately, are still NOT kosher. Only very old stock bearing the BD logo on the actual little packets are okay. The outer box bearing the BD logo is also NOT okay. Going forward, the company has endeavoured to cover the BD logo with stickers before the boxes leave the factory.


October 18, 2020: From the Beth Din of Johannesburg:

We have received new information from Tiger Brands that produces Jelly Tots. They have recently introduced grape juice into some of the variations of Jelly Tots which is a non-kosher ingredient.

Therefore, please note, that Jelly Tots requires a kosher logo and any variation without a kosher logo is not kosher certified.

We are working together with the company to find a possible alternative solution going forward.
