Advanced Food Concepts Recalls Waffle Products Due to Cyclamate Contamination

Advanced Food Concepts is recalling GU Energy Stroopwafels and Hoka Campfire Smores waffles because testing confirmed the presence of cyclamates.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as a Class III recall, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves an unapproved additive (cyclamates) without reported illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate, precautionary recall.
