People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts and/or tree nuts may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product, the company has warned.
These Odwalla Chocolate Protein Monster beverages were distributed nationwide (US) through retail food stores and on-premise foodservice establishments during the last seven weeks. The 12oz bottles of Chocolate Protein Monster are also available in an Odwalla Protein Monster variety pack sold exclusively at Costco during this same timeframe.
To date, four consumers have contacted Odwalla to report allergic reactions after drinking the product. These four consumers are not known to be allergic to soy and milk but report being allergic to peanuts and/or tree nuts.
Odwalla has notified the FDA of these consumer reports and is working with FDA to investigate the cause of these allergic reactions. This beverage contains no peanut or tree nut ingredients, and the production facility where it is produced does not make any peanut-containing products.
Odwalla said it has found no evidence of peanuts or tree nuts in the product at this point. In an abundance of caution to safeguard consumers, Odwalla is recalling this product while continuing to investigate the cause of the reactions.
