Fresh Flour Tortillas Recalled for Undeclared Wheat Allergen

Local Fixe LLC is recalling Fresh Flour Tortillas because wheat is not declared on the label, even though flour (a wheat product) is listed as an ingredient. This poses a risk to consumers with wheat allergies.

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: This is an allergen mislabeling case involving wheat, a common allergen. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, so per the rubric this qualifies as High (score 3) rather than Severe, as the hazard remains theoretical at the time of recall.
