The FDA has classified a recall of ProFuel High-Protein Meal Bars as Class I — the most serious category — after lab testing confirmed the presence of undeclared cashew and almond proteins that could trigger severe allergic reactions.
Recall Scope
The recall affects approximately 2.8 million bars distributed across all 50 states through major retailers including Walmart, Target, Costco, and Amazon.
- Products affected: all ProFuel varieties with best-by dates between June 2026 and December 2026
- 12 allergic reactions reported, including 3 anaphylaxis cases requiring hospitalization
- Cross-contamination traced to a shared manufacturing line at the company's Ohio facility
Consumer Action
Consumers with tree nut allergies should immediately stop consuming the products and can return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The FDA is investigating whether the manufacturing facility's allergen control protocols meet current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.
