Lovejoy Bakers Rosemary Poppyseed Crackers Recalled for Undeclared Wheat

Lovejoy Bakers Inc. is recalling 6 oz. bags of Rosemary Poppyseed crackers because the ingredients list declares flour but fails to declare wheat.

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 recall involves allergen mislabeling for wheat, a common allergen, which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Lovejoy Bakers Inc. is recalling 6 oz. bags of Rosemary Poppyseed crackers due to undeclared wheat. The product is packaged in a clear poly bag with a twist tie and does not have a UPC code. The ingredients statement lists flour, baking powder, salt, extra virgin olive oil, fresh rosemary, and poppyseeds, but it does not explicitly declare wheat, despite the presence of flour.

The recall is limited to 6 bags (36 oz. total) with an expiration date of 12/18/17. These products were distributed only in Oregon. The label includes a statement indicating the bag may contain soy, wheat flour, eggs, milk/dairy, peanuts, or tree nuts, but the specific omission of wheat in the primary ingredients list is the cause of the recall.

Consumers who purchased these crackers should check their pantries for the specific product description and expiration date. If they have the affected product, they should stop using it and dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase. Individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease should be particularly cautious.
