Kroger is one of the largest supermarket chains and most popular in the United States, known for offering a wide variety of products ranging from fresh foods, organic products, to household items and technology.
With thousands of stores in different states, Kroger has established itself as a reference in retail, offering its customers quality options at competitive prices. Additionally, the company has been expanding its own product brands, such as Simple Truth, focusing on organic and natural foods, and Private Selection, offering a premium range.
Despite being a reliable retailer with an extensive variety of products at accessible prices, Kroger, like other major supermarkets, faces the responsibility of ensuring that all products it sells are safe for consumption.
Withdrawal of Berry Buddies
Indeed, the recent withdrawal of the product Berry Buddies from Naturipe shelves at Kroger highlights an exceptional situation where food safety becomes a priority. This decision was made due to a significant risk of allergies, as the product contains wheat and eggs that were not declared on the label.

"Berry Buddies” made by Naturipe.
Berry Buddies is a snack line made by Naturipe, a company dedicated to the production of fresh berries and other related products. These snacks are designed to offer a healthy and convenient breakfast or snack option, combining fresh berries with indulgent accompaniments such as creamy cheese, crunchy nuts or sweet chocolate.
The Berries & Pancakes variety includes blueberries, mini pancakes, and real maple syrup. This product is marketed as a portable and healthy breakfast option, ideal for kids and adults looking for a quick and nutritious snack.
The withdrawal was due to the fact that the Berries & Pancakes product contained wheat and eggs, ingredients that were not declared on the label. This omission represents a significant risk for people with allergies or intolerances to these ingredients, as they could consume the product without knowing the presence of these allergens.
The affected product was distributed in Kroger and Meijer stores in 13 states of the United States, including Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Minnesota, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Each package weighed 60 grams (2.1 ounces) and was sold at an approximate price of $2.99.
The brand advises consumers who have purchased this product to discard it immediately and contact Kroger's customer service for information on refunds or exchanges.
Additionally, it is recommended to check product labels before consumption to identify possible undeclared allergens.
