Two dozen Daiso snacks are being recalled due to undeclared allergen ingredients.
The packaging for the recalled Daiso snacks did not list allergens such as milk, soy, wheat, or tree nuts (almonds, cashew, or coconut), according to a warning notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In some cases, a product had more than one of the allergens missing from its label.
The recall comes roughly a month after Daiso California pulled its Tohato and Kashiwado snacks from store shelves for having undeclared allergens including almonds, peanuts, soybeans, milk and shellfish.

The snacks were previously sold at Daiso stores in California, Washington, Nevada, Texas, New York and New Jersey. The company said it pulled the affected product from all store shelves.
