What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall involving an undeclared ingredient and missing warning label. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. While undeclared aspartame poses a real risk to people with phenylketonuria, the absence of reported harm and the Class III classification place this in the Moderate severity category per the rubric.

Wakefern Foods Corp. is recalling Bowl & Basket Zero Calorie with Sucralose Sweetener, 100-count packages with UPC 0-41190-06855-5. The product contains aspartame that is not declared on the label, resulting in a missing warning about phenylalanine content.
Aspartame contains phenylalanine, which is dangerous for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare metabolic disorder. The undeclared aspartame and missing warning prevent consumers with this condition from making informed decisions about product consumption.
The recall affects 140 cases distributed to Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Products carry a "Best If Used By" date of May 7, 2026.
