Keebler E. L. Fudge Double Stuffed Sandwich Cookies, 12 ct., 12 oz.

Kellogg Company recalled Keebler E. L. Fudge Double Stuffed Sandwich Cookies, 12 ct., 12 oz. in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Jun 13, 2016.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Kellogg Company initiated a voluntary recall of multiple snack food items because of the potential for undeclared allergen peanut due to a supplier's recall of flour." 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.
