Falafel King Hummus Recalled for Undeclared Sesame Allergen
Falafel King Enterprises is recalling Traditional Hummus in 13 oz multi-component containers because the label declares tahini paste but fails to declare sesame, a common allergen.
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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (sesame/tahini) on a common allergen. FDA Class II recalls with allergen mislabeling and no reported illness fall into the High category per the rubric.
