The retailer assures that a full refund will be offered without the need for proof of purchase at any Penneys store.

In a related issue, on Thursday, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued a recall for specific batches of Booja-Booja Chocolate Wonders Fudgie Brownies due to concerns of potential mould growth and spoilage.

The FSAI stated, “The below batches of Booja-Booja Chocolate Wonders Fudgie Brownie Organic are being recalled due to possible mould growth and spoilage.” Consumers are urged to check their purchases and discard any affected batches immediately.

Retailers are instructed to remove the implicated products from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale to inform shoppers. Wholesalers and distributors are also asked to contact affected customers to ensure that the recall process is thoroughly communicated.
