Lunchables Recalled in California: Misbranding, Undeclared Allergens Cited

Before packing another kids' lunch or making a trip to the grocery store, there's an important recall to know about. Kraft Heinz Company is recalling 959 pounds of “Lunchables Ham and American Cracker Stackers” due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced. The Lunchables contain wheat and soy, known allergens, which are not declared on the product label.

Here's what went wrong, according to the USDA: "The establishment determined that the 'Lunchables Ham and American Cracker Stackers' products were incorrectly labeled with the back label for a 'Nacho Lunchable' product."

The recalled products were produced on Sept. 21, 2016. All other Lunchables are fine.

The establishment number “EST. 537K” is inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recalled Lunchables were only distributed in California and Utah.

No illnesses have been reported as a result of eating the product. If you have it already, the USDA says to throw it away.
