A single lot of Kroger Hazelnut Spread, packed in Italy by Nutkao, is under an urgent recall by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Testing revealed the product was found to contain trace amounts of peanuts. Consumers who have an allergy to peanuts may run the risk of a serious allergic reaction if they consume product containing such ingredients.

Despite hundreds of families being told their children have peanut allergies every year, many of the children may be able to eat peanuts safely, a study by researchers at UNSW and the Sydney Children's Hospital has found.
