O'Brien's Own Gourmet Granola Chocolate Peanut Butter Recalled

O'Brien's Own Gourmet Granola in chocolate peanut butter flavor is being recalled because the product contains whey but does not declare milk on the label, posing a risk to consumers with milk allergies.

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: This is an allergen mislabeling recall involving milk, a common allergen, where the undeclared ingredient (whey, a milk derivative) is not reflected in the label. Although classified as FDA Class II and no illnesses have been reported, the hazard poses direct risk to allergic consumers and meets the High severity criterion for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.
