Reason for recall
The firm has the incorrect ingredient statement on the package. The ingredient statement fails to list the allergen "Peanuts", Sugar, artificial colors (Red 3 & Blue 2), and Salt.
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.
