Consumer Guidance:

Consumers should stop consuming the affected products immediately and discard them. Refunds are not available, and products should not be returned to the store. For questions, contact Alexa Olvera at Snack Right Super Foods, Inc. via email at [email protected], Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.

Health Risks:

This recall is conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
