SnoBalls In Wrong Packaging Leads to Recall for Coconut

OH NO....SnoBalls in Chocolate CupCake packaging means that there is undeclared coconut.    
"Hostess Brands, LLC (”Hostess Brands“) has become aware that certain Hostess® SnoBalls® were inadvertently manufactured in the packaging for Hostess® Chocolate CupCakes and the packaging does not list ”coconut“, an ingredient in SnoBalls®, as an allergen. Hostess Brands is voluntarily recalling the following SnoBalls® manufactured on March 13, 2021."
Hopefully one would recognize the coconut through the clear packaging, but of course we can't count on that.
