Mars Chocolate says this theater box item within these lot codes may contain product containing peanut butter without listing on the ingredient label on the outside cardboard box.

The inside package is correctly labelled with ingredients and allergy information.

People who have allergies to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if their theater box contains an inner M&Ms Brand Peanut Butter bag and they consume the product.

No adverse reactions have been reported to date, according to Mars Chocolate.

The issue was identified after a consumer notified Mars Chocolate of a M&Ms Brand Peanut Butter package containing peanut butter M&Ms inside a M&Ms Brand Milk Chocolate Theater Box.

These specific lot codes were shipped and distributed to our customers’ warehouses between May 8 and July 1, 2014, located in: 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.

These customers then redistribute products for retail sale nationwide.

The M&Ms Brand Milk Chocolate Theater Box comes in a 3.40 oz brown, 3 inch x 6.5 inch cardboard box stamped on the right-hand side panel with the lot number and best before date.

Mars Chocolate says it will work with retail customers to ensure that the recalled product is not on store shelves.

In the event that consumers believe they have purchased this item and have allergy concerns, they should return this product to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.
