Why it’s dangerous

The product contains soy lecithin, which is a common allergen. The manufacturer did not declare this ingredient on the label, so people with soy allergies might not be aware of the risk. This could lead to allergic reactions if consumed.

Who’s affected

People who own or use this peanut butter product are affected. Those with soy allergies are at higher risk due to the undeclared soy lecithin.
