About undeclared allergen recalls
Undeclared allergen recalls occur when a food product contains one or more of the major food allergens — peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, or sesame — without listing them on the label. For most consumers this is a labeling compliance issue, but for individuals with food allergies or intolerances it can cause reactions ranging from hives and swelling to anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction.
⚠ If you have a known allergy to the undeclared ingredient and have consumed the product, monitor for symptoms. If you carry an epinephrine auto-injector, keep it accessible. Consult your allergist if you are unsure.
What to do if you're affected
- →Check your pantry and refrigerator for the recalled product using the lot numbers and UPCs in the notice.
- →If you or a household member has a known allergy to the undeclared ingredient, discard the product or return it to the store for a full refund.
- →If you consumed the product and had an allergic reaction, seek medical attention.
- →If you carry an epinephrine auto-injector and have recently eaten the product, keep it accessible and monitor for symptoms.
- →Report any allergic reactions to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
About the FDA CFSAN
This recall was issued by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), which oversees most packaged foods, produce, seafood, dietary supplements, and bottled water sold in the United States. The FDA monitors the food supply through facility inspections, laboratory testing, import screening, and consumer reports. When a contamination or labeling problem is found, the FDA works with the company on a voluntary recall or requests a mandatory one. Recalls are classified by severity: Class I (reasonable probability of serious harm or death), Class II (possible temporary adverse effects, remote probability of serious harm), Class III (unlikely to cause health effects, but violates regulations).
