Exotique Foods Inc is recalling Momchipz Veggie Chips – Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower because the 3 oz (85g) bags may contain undeclared wheat, an allergen not listed on the label. The Momchipz veggie chips recall affects a limited batch sold to 49 U.S. customers through Amazon.com between March and June 2026.
What Was Recalled, and Why
According to the FDA recall notice, the affected product is:
- Product: Momchipz Veggie Chips – Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower, 3 oz (85g) bag
- UPC: 6 28634 44216 6
- Best before date: August 31, 2026
- Distribution: Sold to 49 U.S. customers via Amazon.com, March through June 2026; no specific states listed
- Reason for recall: The product may contain undeclared wheat
The recall was triggered by a retail sample result from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The company, Exotique Foods Inc (Ontario, Canada), initially identified the undeclared allergen as gluten in an August 14 announcement, then updated the release on August 24, 2026 to correctly identify the allergen as wheat. No illnesses have been reported.
What to Do If You Have This Product
Anyone with a wheat allergy should not consume the product. Consumers should discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions can be directed to the company at 1-647-528-7080, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST.
Is This Common?
Wheat is one of the FDA’s nine major food allergens that must be clearly declared on packaging, and mislabeling corrections like this one — where a company revises the exact allergen named in its own recall — aren’t unusual once lab testing confirms the specific ingredient involved. Because this batch moved through Amazon rather than brick-and-mortar retailers, the affected customer list is small and traceable, which is typical for e-commerce-only recalls.
