The company is pulling the products out of an abundance of caution to ensure consumer safety.

What Should You Do If You Have Them?

1. Do Not Eat Them: Skip the snack and keep everyone in the house away from the affected boxes.

2. Return or Discard: You can either safely throw the items away or bring the box back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
