One batch, one flavor, one allergen — Orgain pulls back a peanut-free promise before anyone gets sick. This is Food Recall Watch — and yeah, this is the one I've been dreading. A plant-based tub that peanut-allergy families trust, and now "possible peanut residue"? The 30G Protein Organic Plant Based Powder, chocolate, 2.01-pound size. We'll give you the one number that tells you if it's yours — first up. FDA writes:
Orgain of Irvine, California is voluntarily recalling a single batch of its 30g Protein Organic Plant Based Powder - Chocolate 2.01lb because it may contain undeclared peanut residue. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
Orgain, based in Irvine, California, is voluntarily recalling a single batch of its 30G Protein Organic Plant Based Powder — Chocolate, the 2.01-pound tub — over possible undeclared peanut residue. It's an allergy alert, not a broad product-wide pull, and the company acted before any reported illness. The scope is narrow: one batch, one flavor, one size. If you bought a different size or a different flavor, this alert doesn't apply to your product. Okay, but this is what gets me — it's the plant-based chocolate tub. Peanut-allergic families treat "organic plant based" as the safe shelf, and now there's possible peanut in it. So what's the lot code, Cera? Because in a house with a real peanut allergy, that tub may already be in the pantry. People need a number they can read off the side at arm's length. And on voluntary versus recall — does that change what Target or Whole Foods has to pull? Because if you're standing in the aisle, you don't care about the regulatory word. You care whether it's still on the shelf. If Food Recall Watch helps you stay on top of these alerts, take a second to subscribe wherever you're listening. And if you can leave a quick review, it really helps other people find the show.
