May 24, 2024 from the FDA:
AMB Food Inc. in Brooklyn NY is recalling 8 oz bags of Pop a Nosh Mix Munch Regular and Honey BBQ snacks because it contains pretzels, but does not list Wheat as an allergen.
The products were distributed through retail supermarkets in Brooklyn, New York.
The products are packaged in 8 oz clear plastic bags with the product name and flavor prominently displayed on the front. No ingredient statement is included on the product packaging; however, the front label does indicate the mixes contain potato chips, popcorn, and pretzels. The Product UPC Code is 914669941 – for Regular and 914669940 – for Honey BBQ
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the pretzels included in both snack mixes contain wheat and both flavors were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of wheat. The firm continues to investigate and make appropriate corrections.
Do not consume this product if you have a sensitivity to wheat. It can be returned to the original point of purchase for a full refund or replacement.

Nearly 900,000 tea bags by the organic tea brand Yogi are being recalled due to a detectable amount of pesticide on the product, according to an enforcement report posted on the US Food and Drug Administration’s website.
