Baraka Gourmet Pastry Kunafe Recalled for Undisclosed Partially Hydrogenated Oils

Ziyad Brothers Importing is recalling Baraka Gourmet Pastry Kunafe 6.7 oz. (UPC 822514291060) because the product may contain partially hydrogenated oils. No illnesses have been reported.

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard represents a regulatory and labeling violation rather than an acute contamination or structural defect. While trans fats pose a known chronic health risk, the absence of reported illness and the compliance-focused nature of the issue place this in the Moderate category.
