Schreiber Foods, Inc. has voluntarily recalled 144 cases of Einstein Bros. Bagels Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread due to the product containing undeclared almonds, which could pose an allergy risk. The cases were distributed to stores in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming through Einstein Bros. Bagel locations. No illnesses have been reported so far.

Why it matters

Food recalls due to undeclared allergens are important to protect public health, as exposure to allergens can cause severe and potentially life-threatening reactions in those with food allergies. This recall highlights the need for accurate labeling and quality control measures in the food manufacturing industry.

The details

The recalled product is packaged in a 6-ounce plastic cup, with a Honey Almond lid and a Plain cup label. The lot code on the bottom of the cup has a 'best buy' date and code of Jul 21, 2026 LO. The recall was initiated after a shipment of the product was discovered to have mismatched lids and cups, with the lid correctly identifying the product as Honey Almond, but the cup incorrectly labeling it as Plain, meaning the product did not have the declared almonds.

  • The recall was announced on March 28, 2026.
