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 allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (wheat) with a stated risk of serious or life-threatening reaction, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.
