Popular Mac and Cheese Recalled Over Risk of Severe Allergic Reactions

Two beloved mac and cheese products have been recalled due to potential allergens that could trigger serious or life-threatening reactions.

Gooder Foods Inc. announced the recall of select lots of its Goodles mac and cheese line. The affected products are:

  • Vegan Is Believin’ – Plant-Based White Cheddar With Spirals

  • Here Comes Truffle – Creamy Truffle Flavored Cheddar and Shells

The vegan white cheddar product may contain undeclared milk, while the truffle-flavored product may contain cashew, which is not listed on the label. Both ingredients pose a serious risk to individuals with allergies or severe sensitivities to milk or nuts.

So far, there have been eight reported allergic reactions tied to these products — two from the vegan white cheddar and six from the truffle mac and cheese. The issue was discovered thanks to consumer feedback, and the company is taking steps to notify distributors, retailers, and customers.

The recalled lots were produced between April 7 and April 15, 2025, and distributed nationally from April 29 to August 8, 2025, through wholesale distributors, retail stores, and online platforms like Amazon and Instacart.

Allergic Reaction Risks

According to health experts:

  • Nut allergies affect roughly 20 million people in the U.S.. Symptoms can include hives, stomach cramps, sore throat, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

  • Milk allergies can also trigger hives, digestive problems, and life-threatening reactions.

Reactions typically occur shortly after exposure, but nut allergies may take up to six hours to manifest.

Given the risks, consumers are urged to double-check ingredients and lot codes before eating any packaged mac and cheese.
