Fredericksburg Publix Store Recalls Holiday Cookie Platter

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Some types of holiday cookies at Publix stores, including the Fredericksburg location, have been recalled by the grocery chain due to an allergy alert.

The grocer on Monday recalled its Publix Bakery 20-ounce holiday cookie platters because they may contain undeclared pecans, a company news release said.

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

The recalled Publix cookie platters were distributed in Georgia, parts of Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, according to a news release from the company.

The Fredericksburg location is at Cosner's Corner, 9601 Jefferson Davis Highway.

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. Customers with questions should contact the company at 1-800-433-9100 or 724-925-2222.
