Calbee North America, LLC recalled HARVEST SNAPS, SNAPEA CRISPS, BLACK PEPPER FLAVORED GREEN PEA CRISPS, NET WT 3.3 OZ (93g) in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Nov 16, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "One lot of black pepper flavored green pea crisps may contain wasabi ranch flavored green pea crisps which contain milk which is not declared on the black pepper flavored product." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was broad: the FDA record describes it as "Nationwide," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Boardman, OR. The recall covers 3588 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 14, 2016), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
