Reason for recall
Appetite for Healthy Living (DBA Purely Elizabeth) is recalling Cranberry Cashew Ancient Grain Muesli because an ingredient in this cereal contains sulfur dioxide, which is not declared on the label/ingredient statement.
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.
