Recall Issued For Lobster Poo Because It Might Be Peanuty

Why anyone would buy candy called “Lobster Poo” is beyond our understanding. But we do know why the novelty food product is being recalled — there might be peanuts in that poo.

Suzipoo, the Maine company behind Lobster Poo (and Seagull Poo, Moose Poo, Black Bear Poo and Birthday Party Poo), has issued a recall of Suzipoo Lobster Poo, 4 oz bags, “because it may contain undeclared peanuts.”

The product is in a small plastic bag with a red bow on the bag and the label on the front reads. “Lobster Poo” – Slogan – I went to Maine and here’s the scoop I came back home with Lobster Poop.

The mislabeled poo was sold at three stores in Maine between 8/1/10 and 8/18/10. Labels for product still on sale have been updated but if you are one of the few that still have some uneaten Lobster Poo sitting around, by all means, return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-207-251-0523.
