Skagit River Bakery & Café voluntarily recalled batches of Blueberry and Marionberry Scones due to undeclared allergens, soy lecithin, and soybean oil. The FDA categorized the recalls as Class II, indicating that the use of the products may cause temporary adverse health effects, with a remote possibility of serious consequences. The recall affects around 1,200 units of Marionberry Scones, sold in bulk packaging without individual labels.

Soy allergies can lead to a range of symptoms from mild rashes to severe anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis U.K. warns that reactions can be immediate or delayed. In a separate incident, the FDA recalled dog food products from Answers Pet Food due to contamination with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. Consumers are advised to dispose of the affected products to prevent harm to children, pets, or wildlife.

The recalled dog food includes Detailed Beef Formula, Raw Beef Straight Formula, and Straight Chicken Formula, each with specific UPC codes and best-by dates. Consumers who may have purchased the affected scones are urged to return them to Skagit River Bakery & Café or dispose of them to avoid potential allergic reactions. Soy allergies are a serious concern, and prompt action is necessary to prevent any adverse health effects. Meanwhile, pet owners should be vigilant about the dog food recalls, ensuring that their beloved pets are not exposed to potentially harmful bacteria. Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes can pose significant health risks to both animals and humans, requiring strict adherence to the recall guidelines to safeguard everyone in the household from these contaminants.
