Publix Bakery recalls macaroons

ATLANTA- Various lot codes of Publix Bakery Coconut Macaroons (Coquitos) have been recalled voluntarily by South Florida Bakery of Miami.

The pre-packaged coconut macaroons were sold in 21-ounce and 12-ounce plastic dome containers exclusively in the retail bakeries of Publix Super Markets throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. The products are being recalled due to an undeclared milk ingredient present in a small amount in the product that may cause problems for people with allergies. There have been no reported cases of illness. Customers who have purchased the product may return it to their local Publix for a full refund or replacement. Consumers with questions may contact South Florida Bakery at 1-305-256-1777, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
