NatureBox is recalling specific lots of Whole Wheat Chocolate Animal Cookies because they may contain undeclared soy lecithin.
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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (undeclared soy) on a common allergen, which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
NatureBox, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 1034 bags and 38 corporate bags of Whole Wheat Chocolate Animal Cookies. The recall involves 5 oz. pouches and 5 lb. corporate bags with the UPC 8 58950 00508 6. The affected products have a lot code of 18073 and a best by date of 9/14/18. The cookies were distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated because two whole wheat vanilla animal cookies were discovered in a bulk bin of whole wheat chocolate animal cookies during the packing process. The vanilla cookies contain soy lecithin, an ingredient that is not declared on the chocolate cookie label. The chocolate cookies are labeled as containing wheat, but the facility also processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk, wheat, egg, and soy.
Consumers who have purchased these specific products should stop using them and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or contact NatureBox for further instructions. Individuals with a soy allergy should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming the product.
