By I. Edwards HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, Sept. 16, 2025 (HealthDay News) — Gooder Foods, Inc. is recalling eight lots of its boxed mac and cheese products because they may contain undeclared allergens, federal officials said.
The recall covers five lots of Vegan Is Believin’ – Plant Based White Cheddar with Spirals that may contain milk and three lots of the Here Comes Truffle – Creamy Truffle Flavored Cheddar and Shells that may contain cashew.
Neither allergen is listed on the product labels, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.
The affected products were distributed nationwide through wholesale distributors and operators, as well as online between April 29 and Aug. 5, 2025. The recalled lots were produced between April 7 and 15.
So far, six allergic reactions linked to Here Comes Truffle and two reactions tied to Vegan Is Believin’ have been reported, the company said.
“Persons who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or cashew may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the FDA noted in its recall notice.
