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 is classified as FDA Class I due to the potential presence of a major allergen (peanut protein), which aligns with the High severity criteria for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.

The recall also includes Strong & Kind Honey Mustard, Strong & Kind Thai Sweet Chili, Strong & Kind Roasted Jalapeno, Strong & Kind Hickory Smoked, and Strong & Kind Honey Smoke BBQ Bars.
