Bazzini Holdings is recalling Barricini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels because some containers have incorrect labels that fail to declare wheat.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Bazzini Holdings L.L.C. is recalling Barricini Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels in 6.5 oz. plastic tubs. The recall involves 1,000 cases, or 12,000 units, of the product with Lot 1E083. The product was distributed nationwide, excluding Pacific States.

The recall is being issued because the back panel applied to some containers of the pretzels was intended for milk chocolate peanut butter cups. This incorrect label does not declare wheat, which is an ingredient in the pretzels. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with wheat allergies or celiac disease.

Consumers with this product should stop using it and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the manufacturer for instructions.
