A popular bagel chain has recalled one of its cream cheeses because it may contain an undeclared ingredient, posing the risk of a serious allergic reaction.
Schreiber Foods, Inc, based in Green Bay, Wyoming, is recalling 144 cups of its Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread for Einstein Bros. Bagels, according to a Friday press release from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The six-ounce spreads were incorrectly labeled as “Plain,” meaning that anyone who has an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds runs the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product.
The affected spreads — which can be identified by the Best If Used By date of Jul 21, 2026 — were distributed to Einstein Bros. Bagel locations in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.
Although the cream cheese is in a mislabeled cup, it does have a “Honey Almond” lid, which is the correct identification for the product. However, the FDA has said that a “subsequent investigation indicates there was a limited packaging staging issue that was corrected, and review confirmed the issue was contained to this product only.”
Although there were no illnesses reported at the time of writing, consumers are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Almonds are considered a tree nut, which is identified as one of the nine major food allergies in the U.S.
The eight other allergens are wheat, soy, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, milk, peanuts and sesame, according to the FDA. Allergic reactions to these nine foods vary but can involve hives and lip swelling to severe, life-threatening symptoms, often called anaphylaxis, that may involve fatal respiratory problems and shock.
Many other foods and treats have been recalled due to concerns about serious allergy risks. Earlier this month, Frito-Lay recalled select eight-ounce bags of its Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips because they could contain jalapeño-flavored potato chips that may have milk, which is not one of the listed ingredients on the label.
The recalled chips may have been distributed as early as January 15, 2026, to various retailers, including grocery, convenience and drug stores in six states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
Last month, Juniper Granola, LLC, based in Rochester, New York, recalled its Chocolate Cherry and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Junebars because they may contain milk and soy, two ingredients that weren’t listed on the snack’s label.
Junebars, high-fiber snack bars made with whole foods, are usually made with dairy-free and soy-free chocolate chips, prompting the recall immediately after the error was discovered.
