On October 28, 2024, One Roof, LLC, under the brand Atwater’s, announced the recall of spider web tarts sold on October 19 and 20, 2024, due to undeclared almond flour. The tarts were distributed at farmers markets in the MD/DC/VA area, including Arlington Courthouse, Falls Church, H Street, Mount Pleasant, Silver Spring, Dupont Circle, Greenbelt, and Westover. As almond is a tree nut allergen, consuming the tarts poses a risk of serious allergic reactions. The recall was initiated after a production and labeling process breakdown led to the almond presence not being disclosed on the packaging. No illnesses related to this issue have been reported so far.

The tarts were packaged in clear clam shell containers labeled with a green Atwater’s “Spider Web Tart” label on top and marked with a Julian date of 292 on the bottom. Consumers who bought the product are advised to contact Atwater’s for a refund.
