Timing probably couldn’t be worse for Nestle’s recent recall on their famous Raisinets. With Halloween only a week away, there has to be tens of millions of Raisinets purchased as a semi-healthy treats to give away to trick-or-treaters come the 31st.

The recall affects the Fun Size 10 oz bags. The recall was initiated because some of the candy may have bits and pieces of peanuts within it. Because of widespread peanut allergies, this could be a very dangerous situation. All packages already contain the phrase, “equipment that also processes peanuts,” however a recall is needed because of the much higher than normal rates in which peanuts are found in these new lots of Raisinets. The recalled lots are those with production code 02015748 and UPC number 2800010255.

Nestle is asking that those who purchased the recalled candy to call their toll free number at, 1-800-478-5670 for a full refund, instead of returning the product to the store.

Nestle was founded back 1866, and employs over 275,000 people. The company had revenue of CHF 107.6 billion last year, and is headquartered in Vevey Switzerland. Back in June of 2009, Nestle recalled over 30,000 cases of cookie dough because of fears of E. Coli.
