The hazard: Undeclared peanuts or tree nuts

An undeclared allergen — peanuts or tree nuts — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Why it matters: The label does not declare peanuts or tree nuts, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

Honey Cream Cheese

What the company announced

Schreiber Foods, Inc of Green Bay, WI is voluntarily recalling 144 Cases of Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread , because it may contain undeclared almonds . People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Product was distributed to store locations in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming through Einstein Bros. Bagel locations.

The product is a 6-ounce plastic cup. Labeled Einstein Bros. Bagels. It has a Honey Almond lid and a Plain cup. The lot code located on the bottom of the cup is Best If Used By Jul 21, 2026 LO.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

This voluntary recall was initiated after shipment of product with mismatched lid and cup was discovered. The lid correctly identifies the product as Honey Almond, but the cup incorrectly identifies the product as Plain (containing no almonds). Subsequent investigation indicates there was a limited packaging staging issue that was corrected, and review confirmed the issue was contained to this product only.

Consumers who have purchased retail Einstein Bros. Brand Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread with a Lot Code of Jul 21, 2026LO with a mismatched cup and lid are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company through our website at www.einsteinbros.com/contact/ .

What to do about Nuts

Einstein Bros Bagels — An undeclared allergen — peanuts or tree nuts — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids peanuts or tree nuts, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  3. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids peanuts or tree nuts, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.
  4. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Brand Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread with a Lot Code of Jul 21, 2026LO with a mismatched cup and lid are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
