Popular Treat Being Recalled Over ‘Undeclared’ Ingredient

If you are a fan of Costco, and you enjoy some of their 'healthier' snacks, you might want to check your labels as there is a 13-state recall for two types of energy bars. Here's what you need to know about the recall.

The recall centers around two baked items from the California company Best Express Foods. According to the FDA, the recall is a Class II recall, 'which means that the consumption of the recalled products might cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.'

The recall was initiated after an undeclared ingredient was found to be in both products. The affected products in the recall, according to Newsweek, are:

1,419,075 units of Universal Bakery Organic Aussie Bites in 30-ounce packaging and 104,160 units of Universal Bakery Organic Sunrise Energy Bars in 30-ounce and 10-ounce packaging

Newsweek went on to add that the official FDA report on the recall showed "that consumer advocacy group testing revealed results above 20 ppm [parts per million] for gluten."

I mentioned Costco earlier, now Costco carries the same snacks, but a glance online seems to show that Costco only carries the 27oz package of Aussie Bites. The sunrise bars are sold at Costco in a 32 oz package.

The states where the products were sold are California, Colorado, Arizona, Washington, Utah, Texas, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Georgia, and Florida. Outside of the U.S., the products were also distributed in Canada.
