Popular Aldi holiday Kringle recalled in 5 states over nut allergy concerns

Wisconsin-based Racine Danish Kringles announced it is recalling Raspberry Kringles sold in select Aldi retail stores because the wildly popular danish may contain pecans, though the packaging does not say the nuts are in the product.

Anyone with an allergy or severe sensitivity to pecans could be at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the Danish.

The company, based in Racine, Wisconsin, shipped the 14oz Raspberry Kringles to stores in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin, according to a recall alert from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The product is labeled “Raspberry” and is sold on a red tray with plastic overwrap, the FDA noted, and the lot code for the items in question is “2399.” The lot number can be found just above the barcode on the back nutritional label.
