Who is at risk

People with soy allergies or soy sensitivity should be concerned, as unlabeled allergens can cause allergic reactions.

What to do

Check if you have any of the recalled Chiclets Peppermint Gum packages at home by matching the UPC codes listed. If you do and have a soy allergy, do not consume the product. You can return the gum to the store where you purchased it for a refund.
