No illnesses have been reported in connection with this problem.

Production of these flavors has been halted until FDA and ToYou Snacks are certain that the issue has been resolved.

This recall was brought forward to us as an immediate action through the Florida Department of Agriculture. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the wrappers were missing the soy allergen declaration in the flavors listed above. This issue was caused by mass printing wraps and not having anyone in the team previous to myself and my team with any knowledge on quality and control the company.

Consumers who have purchased the flavors above (40 gram bars) are urged to throw away or return products for a full refund. Consumers with question please feel free to contact us at toyousnacks@me.com.

We are working diligently with both the FDA and the Florida Department of Agriculture in order to solve this issue and provide an even better product for those who have been loyal to us.
