Reason for recall
Presence of high levels of Azodicarbonamide (ADA), failure to declare allergens on label, and potential cross-contamination with allergens.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
