WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Sara Lee Frozen Bakery recalled specific lots of select Sara Lee, Chef Pierre and Devonshire pecan pies for potentially containing undeclared peanuts, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or FDA said in a statement.

However, the Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois-based company said it is yet to receive any reports of adverse reactions or illness due to the consumption of these products.
