Costco recalls popular bakery item due to undeclared allergen

Costco is recalling some bakery items over an undeclared allergen.

The company said its Caramel-filled Mini Beignets were accidentally packaged with chocolate hazelnut.

That means they could pose serious risk to those with an allergy to tree nuts.

Costco said members will receive a full refund if they return the product.

The products were sold in more than 20 states, including Illinois, between January 16 and January 30.

Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington are the other states impacted.

"We are sorry of any inconvenience this recall may have caused," a Costco spokesperson said in a letter to members.
