A product recall has been announced for certain boxed macaroni and cheese offerings following concerns about undeclared allergens. The recall was put in motion by Gooder Foods, Inc., in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FOX 5 Atlanta
What Happened
-
The recall affects specific lots of two mac & cheese varieties:
-
Vegan Is Believin’ – Plant Based White Cheddar with Spirals (due to possible undeclared milk) FOX 5 Atlanta
-
Here Comes Truffle – Creamy Truffle Flavored Cheddar and Shells (because of potential presence of cashews) FOX 5 Atlanta
-
-
The affected batches were produced between April 7 and April 15, 2025. FOX 5 Atlanta
-
Distribution spanned nationwide, including online retailers, food service providers, and wholesale distributors. Dates of sale go from April 29 through August 5, 2025. FOX 5 Atlanta
Risks & Reactions
-
Because milk and cashews are not declared on the labels, people who are allergic or sensitive could face serious — even life-threatening — reactions if they consume these products. FOX 5 Atlanta
-
So far, there have been eight reported cases of allergic reactions: six linked to the truffle-flavored variety, and two tied to the vegan “white cheddar” style. FOX 5 Atlanta
