Cedar's Organic Mediterranean Hummus recalled for undeclared tree nuts

Cedar's Organic Mediterranean Hummus 10 oz. is being recalled because it may contain undeclared pine nuts, a tree nut allergen. Consumers with tree nut allergies should not consume this product.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, which establishes a minimum severity of 4. However, the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is allergen mislabeling (tree nuts/pine nuts), which is a high-risk allergen. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness corresponds to a score of 3, but the Class I designation ordinarily requires a score of at least 4. Given that no illnesses are documented and the hazard is theoretical at the point of recall issuance, this is scored as High (3).
