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: The recall involves the failure to declare common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat) on a food product, which fits the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' (Score 3).

Plain-English summary

Creation Gardens is voluntarily recalling Bar Star Snack Mix, available in 1 lb plastic bags and 25 lb plastic bags in cardboard boxes. The recall was initiated after an inspection by the Kentucky Department for Public Health revealed that the product packaging lacks an ingredient statement.

Due to the missing ingredient statement, the product fails to declare direct allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, as well as the color additive yellow #5. Additionally, the packaging does not declare that the product is packaged in a facility that handles milk and eggs.

The affected product was distributed to Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their pantries for the specific packaging described and stop consuming it. The recall covers all product and lot codes for the affected items.
