Nick's Krispi Nougat Protein Bar Recalled for Undeclared Hazelnut

Nick's Krispi Nougat Protein Bar is being recalled because the product contains hazelnuts that are not declared on the label. This poses a risk to consumers with tree nut allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall qualifies as High severity under the rubric's allergen mislabeling criterion. Hazelnut is a common tree nut allergen, and the product label fails to disclose its presence. Although classified as FDA Class II, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this an allergen mislabeling case with theoretical rather than documented harm.
