Timeline
| 9 Oct 2018 | Recall initiated by company | |
| 1 Nov 2018 | Classified by FDA | +23 days |

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Firm discovered that Hatch Chile Clean Snax lists peanuts in the ingredient list but does not list peanuts under the allergen information.
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.
