Publix Recall Alert For Holiday Cookie Platter

LAKELAND, FL — Some types of holiday cookies at Publix stores have been recalled due to an allergy alert.

Publix recalls its Publix Bakery 20 ounce Holiday Cookie Platters because they may contain undeclared pecans, a company news release said.

The company that produces the product, George DeLallo Co. Inc. of Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, released the alert on Monday.

The recalled Publix Bakery 20 ounce Holiday Cookie Platters were distributed in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. Publix locations in Florida counties Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Broward and Monroe are not affected by this recall.

The product comes in a 20 ounce, clear plastic package with UPC 41415 88690, marked with lot W34326 and best by date of 10/APR/2021 on the top.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem, officials said.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the pecan-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of pecans. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's packaging processes.

Consumers with allergies to pecans who have purchased 20 ounce Publix Bakery Holiday Cookie Platters with lot code W34326 are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-433-9100 or 724-925-2222.
