It’s a childhood staple that many adults still love to eat: boxed mac and cheese.
However, the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. is now sharing details about a recall involving a popular brand.
It involves two types of boxed Goodles brand mac and cheese produced by Gooder Foods, Inc., according to an announcement released by the FDA.
The FDA Warns That People Could Face a Life-Threatening Allergic Reaction From the Boxed Mac & Cheese
According to the announcement, Gooder Foods “is recalling 5 lots of Vegan Is Believin’ – Plant Based White Cheddar with Spirals produced as they may contain milk, which is not listed on the label, and 3 lots of Here Comes Truffle – Creamy Truffle Flavored Cheddar and Shells, as they may contain cashew which is not listed on the label.”

The recalled lots “were produced between April 7 and April 15, 2025,” the notice says.
“Persons who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and/or cashew may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the recall notice warns.
“The products were distributed nationally to wholesale distributors and operators and online between 04/29/2025 and 08/05/2025,” the FDA wrote.
‘Consumer Feedback’ Led to the Discovery, the Recall Notice Says
Consumers alerted the company to the problem, according to the recall notice.
“The issue was discovered through consumer feedback. The company is recalling the affected product and notifying all distributors, retailers, and consumers who may have received the impacted lots,” the statement says.
“There have been six reported allergic reactions in connection with Here Comes Truffle and two reported allergic reactions in connection with Vegan is Believin’.”
“Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a healthcare provider,” the FDA’s website advises.
“Consumers who have purchased the recalled product should not consume it and can return it to the place of purchase for a refund.”
