Maribel's Sweets is recalling Mother's Day ganache boxes due to undeclared coconut. Consumers with coconut allergies face risk of allergic reaction.

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: Undeclared coconut is allergen mislabeling involving a common allergen. While the FDA classified this as Class II, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, placing this at severity 3 per the rubric criterion for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.
