Built Brands Recalls Toffee Almond Chocolate Protein Bars Due to Mold Risk

Built Brands LLC is recalling Toffee Almond Chocolate covered protein bars because they may be moldy before the expiration date.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states that no illnesses or injuries have been reported. According to the rubric, a Class II recall without reported hospitalizations or injuries, where the hazard is mold (a low-risk contamination in this context without reported harm), falls under the Moderate category.
