Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon Recalled for Misleading No Added Salt Label

World Finer Foods is recalling Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon because the front label claims no added salt, but sea salt is listed in the ingredients.

What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves minor labeling errors or low-risk issues that are unlikely to cause serious adverse health consequences.

Plain-English summary

World Finer Foods, Inc. is recalling Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon (no added salt), 2.4 oz. net weight. The product is packaged in a thick paper sleeve containing 8 foil-wrapped bouillon cubes, with 12 units per case.

The recall is due to a labeling discrepancy. The front of the product label states "no added salt," but sea salt is correctly listed in the ingredient statement on the back of the package. This creates a misleading claim regarding the product's salt content.

Approximately 20,550 cases were distributed nationwide. The affected lot numbers are 112075, 113390, 114805, 116205, 118230, and 119631. Consumers should check their pantries for these specific lot numbers and stop using the product if they match.
