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: This FDA Class II recall involves undeclared allergens (tree nuts, peanuts, and wheat) on products commonly consumed by the general public. Allergen mislabeling on common allergens represents a high-severity situation for allergic individuals. No illnesses have been reported, making this a theoretical risk of harm.
