According to the company announcement on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, Gooder Foods, Inc has recalled five lots of their vegan boxed mac and cheese due to the undisclosed inclusion of milk, which is an allergen. The official name of the vegan boxed mac and cheese product is Goodles Vegan is Believin’ — Plant-Based White Cheddar with Spirals.

The lot codes for the recalled vegan boxed mac and cheese are as follows:

As if that weren't enough, the brand failed to disclose another allergen on a separate box of mac and cheese, as well. An additional three lots of the Goodles Here Comes Truffle – Creamy Truffle Flavored Cheddar and Shells contain undisclosed cashews, which are also an allergen that can put countless lives at risk if consumed without warning.
