Food Recall Check
Class II · Moderate risk Terminated Initiated Mar 1, 2018 (9 years ago)

Food Club Essential Choice recall

Recalled by Gilster-Mary Lee Corp. · Chester, IL, United States

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

Why it was recalled

Puffed wheat cereal was packaged using puffed rice packaging, resulting in an undeclared wheat allergen on the packaging.

Undeclared allergen: Wheat

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's distribution note: Product distributed to distribution centers the following US states: CA, FL, and MN.

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to wheat; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. 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.
