FDA Recalls Momchipz Veggie Chips Sold Through Amazon Over Undeclared Wheat

Consumers who purchased certain veggie chips through Amazon.com are being urged to check their pantry after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a recall involving an undeclared wheat allergen.

The recall involves Momchipz Veggie Chips Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower, a 3-ounce snack imported into the United States by Exotique Foods Inc. of Ontario, Canada. The product was sold through Amazon between March and June 2026.

According to the FDA, the recall was initiated because the product may contain wheat that was not properly declared on the label. People with a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity could face a serious allergic reaction if they consume the affected chips.

Which Momchipz Veggie Chips Are Recalled?

The recall is limited to a specific Momchipz variety and does not apply to every product sold under the brand.

Consumers should check for the following information:

• Brand: Momchipz
• Product: Veggie Chips Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower
• Package size: 3 ounces, or 85 grams
• UPC: 6 28634 44216 6
• Best Before date: August 31, 2026
• Reason for recall: Undeclared wheat

The FDA says the affected product was sold to 49 U.S. customers through Amazon.com. The enforcement information associated with the recall refers to 68 cases of the product.

Other Momchipz products are not included in this particular recall. That means consumers should not assume that every Momchipz snack has been recalled simply because one variety is affected.

Why Was the Product Recalled?

The concern centers on wheat that was not declared on the product label.

According to the FDA, the recall followed a retail sample result provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Exotique Foods subsequently initiated the recall with the knowledge of the FDA.

The product's listed ingredients include broccoli, cauliflower, tapioca flour, coconut oil, salt and white pepper. However, because wheat may be present without being properly identified on the label, the product presents a potential risk to consumers who are allergic or highly sensitive to wheat.

For people without a wheat allergy, the undeclared allergen may not pose the same level of concern. For someone with a serious allergy, however, even a relatively small exposure can potentially cause a significant reaction.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who purchased the recalled Momchipz Veggie Chips Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower should check the package before eating it.

Consumers with a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity should not consume the recalled product. The company advises affected consumers to discard the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Exotique Foods at 1-647-528-7080. The company lists customer service hours as Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern Time.

Consumers who do not have a wheat allergy should still pay attention to the product identification information because the recall applies specifically to the affected product and date code.

FDA Gives Recall a Class I Classification

The FDA has classified the Momchipz recall as a Class I recall, the agency's highest recall classification.

The FDA uses three classifications to communicate the relative health risk associated with recalled products. A Class I recall applies when there is a reasonable probability that exposure to a violative product could result in serious adverse health consequences or death. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems, while Class III recalls generally involve products that are unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.

A Class I designation does not mean that every person who consumes the recalled product will become seriously ill. Rather, it reflects the potential severity of the risk for the population that may be vulnerable to the problem.

In this case, the primary concern is consumers who have a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity.

No Illnesses Reported

The FDA's recall announcement states that no illnesses had been reported in connection with the recalled Momchipz products at the time of the announcement.

Even when no illnesses have been reported, food recalls involving undeclared allergens can be important because consumers may not realize that an allergen is present.

The FDA requires major food allergens to be identified on food labels. Wheat is among the major allergens covered by federal food labeling requirements.

Made in Indonesia and Imported Into the United States

The recalled veggie chips were manufactured in Indonesia and imported for Exotique Foods Inc., a company based in Ontario, Canada.

The international supply chain involved in the product highlights why consumers should pay attention to FDA recall notices even when a food was manufactured outside the United States. Imported foods sold to American consumers are subject to applicable U.S. food safety and labeling requirements.

The FDA maintains a public database of recalls, market withdrawals and safety alerts so consumers can check products that may present safety concerns.

What to Check in Your Pantry

If you purchased Momchipz veggie chips through Amazon earlier this year, check whether the package matches the recalled product description.

Look specifically for the Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower variety, the 3-ounce package, UPC 6 28634 44216 6, and the August 31, 2026 best-before date.

If all of those details match and you or someone in your household has a wheat allergy or severe wheat sensitivity, do not eat the product.

The FDA says consumers should discard or return the recalled product for a refund.

The recall is a reminder that checking food labels is particularly important for people managing food allergies. Product formulations, labeling and recall information can change, so consumers should rely on current information from the FDA and the manufacturer when deciding whether a recalled product is safe.
