Schnucks asks customers to return store item due to allergy concerns

St. Louis-based Schnuck Markets, with 112 stores in four states including an outlet in Cape Girardeau, issued an "allergy alert" Thursday.

Company officials said a single lot of Schnucks's "Fruit & Trail Mix" may contain undeclared milk, which has been described as a "known allergen."

Those with an allergy or a severe sensitivity to milk could run the risk of a potentially life-threatening reaction if the product is consumed, according to a news release.

Schnucks's customers are asked to check their home supplies for the presence of 12-ounce bags of Schnucks's Fruit & Trail Mix with universal product code (UPC) 4131822276, lot code 15822A and "best used by date" of 6.7.22.

Product may be returned to the nearest Schnucks for a full refund or exchange.

Customers with questions are invited to call Schnucks' customer care at (800) 264-4400.
