“Kraft Heinz Recalls Lunchables Due to Undeclared Allergens.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275623-kraft-heinz-recalls-lunchables-due-to-undeclared-allergens. Based on USDA FSIS recall #093-2016 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/kraft-heinz-recalls-ready-eat-lunchables-ham-and-american-cracker-stackers-product).

Why it’s dangerous

The product labels were incorrectly applied, using the back label for a Nacho Lunchable product instead of the correct one. This error means the package does not declare that it contains wheat and soy, which are known allergens, posing a risk to those with sensitivities.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased the recalled Lunchables products from retail locations in Utah and California are affected. Individuals with allergies to wheat or soy are at the highest risk of an allergic reaction.

How to tell if you have this one

Look for 3.4-oz. boxes containing four-compartment plastic trays of Lunchables Ham and American Cracker Stackers. Check the side of the plastic container for a USE BY date of 25 DEC 2016 and production times ranging from 9:13 to 10:00. The package must bear establishment number EST. 537K inside the USDA mark of inspection.
