National M&M Recall: Some Candies May Contain Peanut Butter

Mars, Inc. is recalling its 3.4 ounce theater M&M box products because boxes that are supposed to only contain chocolate could contain peanut butter.

So far, there have been no reports of illness due to mislabeled packaging.

The boxes were shipped and distributed to customer warehouses between May 8th and July 1st in the following states: NC, TX, MN, IL, FL, KY, MS, AZ, GA, AI, CA NJ, PA, WA NY, CO, MO, MI, NH, CT, TN, MD, SC, OH, ME, VA, RI, WI, WV, IA, LA, OK, MA, NE, OK, AR, VT, ID and IN. The boxes are then redistributed nationwide for retail sale.

Consumers that have purchased this product and are worried about possible allergies, can return the product to the store where purchased for a refund.
