What to do if you have it

This is a labelling failure rather than spoiled food, so it matters entirely to whoever eats it. If nobody in your household reacts to what went undeclared here, the product is not dangerous to you, though you can still return it. If somebody does, treat every package from the affected run as unsafe no matter how much has already been eaten without incident.

How to tell whether your package is one of them

A recall covers particular production runs, not everything the company makes, so the codes decide it. These are the ones the FDA published. Match them against what is printed on your package, usually near the best-before date.

a.) EAN: 5021507271194; Batch No.: 3757; Best before 05/2027 b.) EAN: 5021507999463; Batch No.: 3902; Best before 08/2027
