A Publix mistake has led to a pie recall in the Keys, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach
Publix recalled almost a month’s worth of store-label pies in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties after a packaging error created a situation that’s an annoyance for some, quite perilous for others.
A box for a Publix Egg Custard Pie sold from Oct. 20 through Thursday might actually have a coconut pie. That’s aggravating for those who set their palate for egg custard, especially if the mistake is discovered by taking a bite of the pie.
But those with a coconut allergy or “severe sensitivity to coconut may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions,” by eating that pie.

“As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted products have been removed from all store shelves,” Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous said in the chain’s recall notice. “To date, there have been no reported cases of illness. Consumers who have purchased the product in question may return the product to their local store for a full refund.”
If you have other questions about the recall, you can reach out to Publix online or at 800-242-1227.
