CA Bakery Recalls Walnut Containing Muffins Labeled as Blueberry Muffins

The Brownie Baker, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Nouria Banana Nut Muffins that we incorrectly labeled as blueberry muffins, which do not declare the presence of tree nuts (walnuts).  This recall was initiated after the company was notified by a customer on April 24, 2026, of a labeling discrepancy. An internal investigation determined that a packaging error resulted in banana nut muffins being placed into blueberry muffin packaging.

Comment - We continually see bakery recalls due to mislabeling issues.  Bakeries handle many different products, and so a disciplined system (aka Allergen Preventive Control) is needed to ensure these simple errors do not occur.
