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 on common allergens (milk, wheat, eggs), which meets the criteria for a High severity score under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Haig's Delicacies is recalling Falafel with Tahini Sauce, which is sold in 5 oz retail rectangular deli containers and 5 lb bulk foodservice packages. The product consists of nuggets of ground garbanzo beans with a rich, tangy tahini sauce.

The recall was initiated after a State of California inspection found that the product does not declare allergy statements reflecting the use of milk, wheat, and eggs. These are common allergens that must be clearly labeled on food products to protect consumers with allergies.

The affected products were distributed in California, Washington, and Maryland. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their pantries and dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase.
