Gooder Foods Inc. is recalling two hit boxed mac and cheese foods after receiving several reports of allergic reactions.
The release, issued in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Sept. 10, 2025, verified that some lots of Goodles Vegan Is Believin’ and Goodles Here Comes Truffle are potentially contaminated with undeclared allergens.
The company revealed that the Vegan Is Believin’ plant-based white cheddar flavor may contain milk, while the Here Comes Truffle truffle-flavored pasta may contain cashews. For individuals with allergies or severe sensitivities to milk or nuts, consuming these products poses a serious or potentially life-threatening health risk.

Six linked to Here Comes Truffle
Two linked to Vegan Is Believin’
