Mars Food North America is conducting this voluntary recall because of an undeclared inclusion of barley, a non-wheat source of gluten, as a result of some pouches in these lot codes being filled with a different product. We have not received any reports of illness associated with this product, but we are voluntarily recalling this product out of an abundance of caution.

No other UNCLE BENS Brand products, including Mars Foodservices products, are involved in this action.
