Why it was recalled

It was discovered that the specification used by the supplier was incorrect and therefore the ingredient statement was incorrect and did not include unbleached wheat flour and bulgur wheat. The packaging does note that the products are packaged in a facility that also processes tree nuts, peanuts, milk, wheat, egg and soy.
