Advanced Food Concepts Recalls GU Energy Stroopwafels Due to Cyclamates
Advanced Food Concepts is recalling GU Energy Stroopwafels because testing confirmed the presence of cyclamates, an unapproved food additive.
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 FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences. The presence of cyclamates is a regulatory violation and a potential health risk, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
