If you grabbed holiday barks for your children, drop everything and check your pantry right now, because Aldi has recalled multiple products from its shelves. Two popular holiday treats sold at the store have been recalled due to a serious allergen mix-up. Eating these treats could trigger a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction in some. Here’s everything you need to know about the Aldi recall .



What are the recalled products? On Wednesday, Nov. 26, Silvestri Sweets Inc. of Geneva, IL, voluntarily recalled its 5-ounce bags of holiday barks as they may contain undeclared allergens.



The recalled products are:

Choceur Pecan, Cranberry & Cinnamon Holiday Bark

Choceur Cookie Butter Holiday Bark



The pecan bark may contain undeclared wheat. “People who have allergies to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a release.



The cookie butter bark, on the other hand, may contain undeclared pecans. Those who have allergies to pecans run the risk of “serious or life-threatening allergic reaction” if they consume this product.



The recalled items were distributed nationwide through Aldi grocery stores.



How to identify the recalled products? Look for the product name, lot codes and best-by date printed on the back of the product bag to identify the recalled products.
