KIND Breakfast Dark Chocolate Cocoa Bars Recalled for Mislabeling

KIND, LLC is recalling 4-count boxes of KIND Breakfast Dark Chocolate Cocoa Bars because the outer boxes may be mislabeled and contain KIND Breakfast PROTEIN Dark Chocolate Cocoa Bars.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is mislabeling, which fits the 'Moderate' criteria for labeling errors without reported severe injuries.
