German Chocolate Truffle Recalled for Undeclared Tree Nuts

Queen Bee Gardens is recalling German Chocolate Truffles because they may contain undeclared tree nuts. The recall affects products sold in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and through nationwide internet sales.

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: Allergen mislabeling on common tree nuts without reported illnesses. FDA Class II classification applies, but absence of hospitalization reports aligns with the High (3) severity criterion for allergen mislabeling cases without reported illness.
