Check your fridge: Kids snack recalled due to undeclared allergens
For families navigating food allergies, accurate labeling isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. When an ingredient list is incomplete, it can put children’s health at risk. That’s why parents need to know about the latest recall affecting a popular snack.
What parents need to know about the recall
Naturipe Value Added Fresh LLC has voluntarily recalled its 2.1 oz. (60-gram) packages of “Berry Buddies, Berries & Pancakes” bento box snack packs under the Naturipe Snacks brand. The recall was issued because the product contains undeclared wheat and eggs, meaning the ingredients were missing from the packaging—posing a serious risk for those with food allergies.
The recall affects 694 cases of the product, which were distributed across multiple states. It was discovered that a labeling error occurred during production, causing the back label to be incorrectly applied. While the issue has since been corrected, families who purchased this product should double-check their snack stash to ensure their little ones aren’t at risk.
