Kelejete LLC is recalling 136 Chocolate Jete Nutritional Energy Bars because the label failed to declare peanuts and pecans in the 'Contains' statement and omitted sulfites.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Product is recalled because the Ingredients statement declares Peanut, Almonds, Coconut, and Pecans but the Contains statement did NOT declare Peanut and Pecans. In addition, the label did not declare sulfites that came from Non-GMO apples."
