Russell Stover Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups Recalled for Undeclared Tree Nuts
Russell Stover Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups are being recalled for undeclared tree nuts (pecans) on the outer packaging. The mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with tree nut allergies.
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: FDA Class II allergen mislabeling for common allergen (tree nuts) without reported illnesses or hospitalizations. The undeclared pecan content poses a genuine risk to allergic consumers, but absence of illness reports prevents a Severe (4) classification.
