According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Undeclared wheat.” In plain terms, this recall relates to an undeclared ingredient or allergen.

An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label.
