Hostesss SnoBalls packaged as Hostess Chocolate CupCakes recall

Recalled by Hostess Brands LLC · Lenexa, KS, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

SnoBalls snack cakes were packaged with a label for Chocolate CupCakes causing the product to fail to declare the major food allergen coconut.

For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
