Oops! Lotte’s Choco Pie Banana is on Recall With a Peanut‑Nut Surprise
Why the buzz?
The sweet banana‑flavored Choco Pie found its way into a pantry full of drama: it actually contains almonds that weren’t mentioned on the packaging at all. The FDA in the United States and the SFA in Singapore have both stepped in. While the snack is safe for the general public, anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should skip the treat or switch it back for a refund.
What’s on the list
- Product: Lotte’s Choco Pie Banana – 12‑pack.
- Origin: South Korea.
- Best before: Nov 4, 2020 (yes, it’s an oldie).
What you can do
Grab your phone and make a quick call if you’ve got a bundle that’s now nutty. Reach out to the Singapore importer, Sing Long Foodstuff Trading, at 6284‑5254 for an exchange or refund. Make sure to have your receipt handy – the “honest” recall doesn’t make for any arcade trivia.
Quick realities
The FDA and SFA stress that the almond inclusion doesn’t pose a general food safety risk, just a match‑make between allergens and consumers. Luckily, the rest of the world can keep munching with peace of mind.
