Hostess Brand on Saturday issued a voluntary recall of certain single-serve SnoBalls due to an undeclared allergen, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert.

The alert claims that some SnoBalls pastries were manufactured in the wrong packaging. Hostess said SnoBalls snack cakes made on March 13, 2021, were packaged in Chocolate CupCakes, and it does not list coconut as an ingredient.

Hostess said the recalled items UPC is 888109010096. The "Best By Date" is listed as May 27, 2021.

The FDA said the recalled products were sold in convenience stores, dollar stores, and distributors throughout the United States.

Voluntary Recall of Hostess SnoBalls Due to Undeclared Allergen. There haven't been any reports of injury related to the recall, according to the FDA alert, but any customers who purchased the product are urged to contact the place of purchase to receive a full refund.

The FDA said no other varieties of Hostess SnoBalls are affected by the packaging error.

Many years ago a nutrition information center sent out a list of the 50 healthiest foods and the 50 most unhealthy foods, considering several different parameters. Hostess snowballs were rated the most unhealthy food back then. I did not even know that they still made them.

I’d like to make Hostess an offer for those mislabeled SnowBalls.

My previous wife had a coconut allergy. One time at Cracker Barrel she ate just one bite of cake (wasn’t labeled as having coconut) and she wound up at the ER. Fortunately she was able to recover.

Food allergies are no joke.

The newer Ding Dong without the same fats for the coating as before, tastes bad.

If you like Ding Dongs (Big Wheels, King Dons), you should try the original, Drake's Ring Dings. They were always better.

I meant when they take it out of the package.

The recall is still warranted - not the least of which is because they put the wrong product in!

But it’s not like they accidentally included something mostly unnoticeable like peanuts or other things that could lead to consumption before detection.

"Maybe the Snoballs identified as Chocolate CupCakes. Who are we to put labels on anything?"

Just don't call them Ho-Hos!)

Yodels blow away Ho-Hos and the other knock offs (Swisss Rolls). And Funny Bones have no peer.

I used to have a daily vending machine coffee and Sunny Doodle habit, but neither exist anymore. (Occasionally you will still see vending machine coffee at highway rest stops).

I like the chocolate Zingers.

Second favorite the cupcakes with the chocolate frosting and the little white woven decoration on top.

I’m at the age where all I have to do is look at one of those, and I gain weight.
