New Century Snacks Recalls Tropical Trail Mix for Undeclared Allergens

New Century Snacks LLC is recalling Tropical Trail Mix because some bags contain Yogurt Trail Mix, which includes undeclared milk, soy, wheat, and cashews.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Firm was notified by customer that some bags of Tropical Trail mix contain Yogurt Trail mix and therefore do not declare milk, soy, wheat or cashews."

Plain-English summary

New Century Snacks LLC is recalling 1,189 cases of Snak Club Tropical Trail Mix. The recall was initiated after a customer notified the firm that some bags of Tropical Trail Mix contained Yogurt Trail Mix instead.

The Tropical Trail Mix is a 16 oz. plastic pouch containing raisins, peanuts, pineapple, papaya, banana chips, coconut chips, and almonds. The Yogurt Trail Mix, which was mistakenly included, contains raisins, peanuts, dates, yogurt chips, cashews, and almonds. Because the Tropical Trail Mix packaging does not declare milk, soy, wheat, or cashews, the presence of the Yogurt Trail Mix creates an undeclared allergen hazard.

The affected product has a best-by date of December 27, 2018, and code TP3B T. The product was distributed in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Consumers should check their pantries for this product and stop using it if it matches the description.
