To date, no illnesses related to this product have been reported. The trace amounts of soy lecithin contained in the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. However, people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of severe or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that a product containing an undeclared allergen, soy lecithin, was distributed in packaging that did not indicate the presence of soy lecithin. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes. The error has since been corrected.
