Hostess recalls 'SnoBalls' because they are in a 'Cupcake' wrapper with wrong ingredient list

[left-of-center2012]

You may have noticed that some Hostess SnoBalls made it to store shelves with the wrapper meant for its chocolate cupcakes.

Because of that, Hostess Brands is recalling some of the SnoBalls. The SnoBalls include coconut, which is not listed in the ingredients on the Cupcake wrapper and, coconut is a potential allergen.

The products were sold to convenience stores, dollar stores, and distributors throughout the United States. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. If you bought the SnoBalls with the incorrect package you can return it to the place of purchase for a refund.

1. Reminds me of the rangers at a state park who routinely use donated Twinkies

etc to lure bears out of campgrounds, and as necessary into cages to be relocated. Wonder where these might end up and for what? Better than landfill.

2. I remember them being pink, but honestly I've not paid attention for, well, forever & a day...

3. Agreed. When did SnoBalls go blue?

5. They occasionally come in other colors, as well.

They'll sell pink ones around Valenties's Day, green for St. Patricks, pastels for Easter...

4. I'm betting that most of the ones that were sold

have already been consumed. At least the packaging is see-though, so one can see the coconut, and avoid them if allergic. Any Hostess aficionado knows those aren't cupcakes.

6. Here you go: Contains: Sugar, saturated fats, artificial flavoring, artificial color, and salt.

HTH!

7. Hostess needs to introduce "Snowflakes".

8. They're destined to become animal feed

Dairy farmers mix this kinda stuff into their herds' feed. They call it "bakery waste."

And before you ask, you throw the stuff in a "depackaging machine" and it peels the wrappers right off.

9. They still make those? I thought they were disgusting 65 years ago. Still are IMO.
