A ConAgra recall has been issued for 16 ounce packages of Kroger Break 'N Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, seen here. The recalled packages were mistakenly filled peanut butter cup cookie dough, prompting food allergy concerns.

Food giant ConAgra is recalling several packages of Kroger brand ready-made chocolate chip cookie dough that mistakenly contain peanut butter.

The ConArge recall, in cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), includes Kroger Break ‘N Bake 16-ounce chocolate chip cookie dough packages with the Unit UPC11110 87530 and a  “Use by” date of Nov. 24, 2013. Those packages may contain peanut butter cup cookie dough instead of chocolate chip, according to the company.

According to ConAgra and the FDA, the recalled cookie dough could pose a risk to people with peanut allergies. So far, no illnesses have been reported in connection to the affected product.

The cookie dough was sold in Kroger, Dillons, Baker's, Gerbes, Foods Co., Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Fry's, Jay C, Owen's, Pay Less, Scott's, QFC, Ralphs, and Smith's grocery stores in 26 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Kroger stores in Louisiana and Texas are not affected, nor are stores in the chain’s Delta Division, which includes western Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, western Kentucky, and southern Missouri.

Supermarkets are notifying some customers via telephone and placing signs in stores. ConAgra also issued an alert through Food Allergy Research and Education, a nonprofit educational resource for food allergies. Shoppers who have purchased the product can return it to the store for a full refund.

Customers with additional questions can call the ConAgra Foods customer relations line at  800-252-0634.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
