What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, and the source text explicitly reports one case of an anaphylactic reaction, which constitutes a serious injury risk.

Sequel Naturals Ltd is recalling Vega Sport Natural Plant-Based Protein Bars in the Chocolate Saviseed flavor. The recall involves 36,764 boxes and 1,771 single units of the 2.1 oz/60g bars. The product was distributed nationwide.

The recall was initiated because the raw material supplier of the chocolate used for the bar coating inadvertently added milk ingredients. The product label states that the bars are made in a facility that processes peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, dairy, and soy, but the specific addition of milk to the chocolate coating was not intended. One report of an anaphylactic reaction has been received.
