Wegmans Somerdale Red Dragon Cheddar Cheese recalled for undeclared wheat allergen
Wegmans is recalling Somerdale Red Dragon Cheddar Cheese because the label does not declare wheat from ale wash used in production. Consumers with wheat allergies or sensitivities are at risk.
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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (wheat), which is a common allergen of significant concern. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, so the hazard remains theoretical rather than confirmed. This fits the "High" severity criterion for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.
