Mondelez Recalls Chiclets Fruit Gum for Undeclared Soy Lecithin

Mondelez Global LLC is voluntarily recalling specific packages of Chiclets Fruit Flavor Gum because the label fails to declare soy lecithin.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Mondelez Global LLC is conducting a voluntary recall of Chiclets Chewing Gum. The recall affects two specific product configurations: Chiclets Fruit Flavor Gum in 12-piece packages (Retail UPC 0 12546 10628 3) and 20-12 piece packages containing 240 pieces (Retail UPC 0 12546 02503 4, Case UPC 10012). The total quantity involved is 1,614,000 units.
