The hazard: Undeclared peanuts or tree nuts

The product contains peanuts or tree nuts that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids peanuts or tree nuts, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.

Why it matters: The label does not declare peanuts or tree nuts, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Banana Nut Muffins

What the company announced

5/07/2026-Fresno, CA- 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).

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to tree nuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.

The recalled product is:

Product Name: Nouria Banana Nut Muffin (labeled as Blueberry Muffin)

Package Size: 9 count, 6oz muffins

Lot Code: 6082 (with accompanying military time stamp)

UPC: 811070033979

Distribution Date: March 31, 2026

The product was distributed to a third-party distributor and may have been further distributed to retail and food service locations. Consumers are urged to check with their place of purchase if unsure whether they have the affected product.

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.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

Consumers who have purchased this product and have a tree nut allergy should not consume the product. The Brownie Baker recommends that the product be disposed of safely or returned to the place of purchase.

What to do about Nuts

Nouria — The product contains peanuts or tree nuts that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids peanuts or tree nuts, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids peanuts or tree nuts, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  3. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  4. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids peanuts or tree nuts, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
