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 recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (coconut). Although laboratory analysis could not detect the allergen and no illnesses have been reported, the undeclared presence of a major allergen creates significant risk of harm to consumers with coconut allergies, particularly given the wide distribution across 14 states.
