Publix Issues Recall Of Private Label Pie Sold At South FL Stores

SOUTH FLORIDA — Publix Super Markets has recalled batches of its private label egg custard pie bought at Publix stores in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties between Oct. 2 and Nov. 16, the company said.

The pie’s package may actually contain a coconut pie and an undeclared coconut allergen, Publix said.

People who have a coconut sensitivity may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they eat it

“As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted products have been removed from all store shelves,” Maria Brous, director of communications for Publix, said. “To date, there have been no reported cases of illness. Consumers who have purchased the product in question may return the product to their local store for a full refund.”

Publix customers with additional questions should call the customer care department toll-free at 1-800-242-1227 or visit publix.com.
