Somersaults Crunchy Nuggets baked with sunflower seed and toasted grains recall
Recalled by Somersault Snack Co., LLC · Sausalito, CA, United States
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
Consumer complaints and subsequent investigation found that packages of Pacific Sea Salt snack crackers had some Santa Fe Salsa snack crackers mixed in. Santa Fe Salsa crackers contain milk protein which is not declared on the ingredient labeling.
Undeclared allergen: Milk
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.

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to milk; 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.
