URGENT RECALL: Popular pantry staples pulled over hidden allergens—are these in your kitchen?

If you’re a fan of quick, comforting meals—like seasoned rice, hearty soups, and flavorful spice blends—this is a recall you don’t want to miss.

A wide range of pantry products has been recalled across the US after a dangerous labelling error left some key allergens off the packaging.

The risk? Serious, even life-threatening allergic reactions.



On May 13, the FDA announced a nationwide recall affecting dozens of NatureMills products after an internal audit revealed that wheat, milk, and sesame allergens were not declared on packaging—putting consumers with allergies at significant risk.

The affected items were sold between December 1, 2023, and May 10, 2025.

No illnesses have been reported yet, but the company says a packing process error led to missing labels.
