Why it was recalled

The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to tree nuts, soy; 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.
