Costco Caramel Beignets May Contain Hazelnuts, Posing Allergy Risk

Costco Wholesale has issued a warning to its customers regarding a potential product mix-up that could have serious health consequences. Customers who purchased mini beignets advertised as caramel-filled may have unknowingly bought beignets filled with chocolate hazelnut. This occurred because the chocolate hazelnut variety was accidentally packaged and labeled as caramel during the production process. Consequently, the beignets labeled "caramel" lack the necessary warning for tree nut content, specifically hazelnuts. This oversight presents a significant danger to individuals with tree nut allergies, which are common. The affected products were distributed to Costco stores in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California between January 16 and January 30. The retailer is strongly advising customers with a hazelnut or filbert allergy to avoid consuming these beignets. A return to any Costco store will result in a full refund for the product.
