49 U.S. Buyers Affected as Momchipz Veggie Chips Recalled Over Wheat

Just 49 U.S. customers purchased the affected product, but the risk for anyone with a wheat allergy is serious enough that Exotique Foods Inc has pulled its Momchipz Veggie Chips Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower from the shelves it reached. The Ontario, Canada-based company announced the recall on August 14, 2026, after learning the snack may contain undeclared wheat.

The affected chips were sold exclusively through Amazon.com between March 2026 and June 2026, reaching a small but specific group of American shoppers. The company says the recall was triggered by a retail sample result provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which flagged the presence of wheat that was not listed on the product’s packaging.

Recalled Products at a Glance

The recalled item is the Momchipz-brand ‘Veggie Chips – Broccoli Florets & Cauliflower,’ sold in 3oz (85 g) bags. The UPC on the package is 6 28634 44216 6, and the affected lot carries a ‘Best Before’ date of 2026 AUGUST 31. Consumers should check their pantry against this exact size and date before assuming their bag is unaffected.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The concern centers on wheat, an allergen that is not declared on the product label. For most consumers, this omission would go unnoticed. But for people with a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity, eating the chips could trigger a serious or even life-threatening allergic reaction.

Notably, the company updated its own press release on August 24, 2026, to clarify that the allergen involved is specifically wheat, not gluten as originally stated. That distinction matters for consumers managing wheat allergies, since gluten-free labeling does not necessarily protect against a wheat-specific allergic reaction.

Who Is Affected?

Because the product was sold only through Amazon.com, the recall’s footprint is narrow and traceable. Exotique Foods Inc has identified the 49 U.S. customers who purchased the item during the March-to-June 2026 sales window, making this one of the more contained recalls of its kind. Even so, anyone who bought Momchipz Veggie Chips through that listing during those months should treat the notice as directly relevant to them.

As of the announcement date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the product.

What Should You Do?

If you have a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity and purchased this product, stop eating it immediately. Consumers are urged to either discard the chips or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Official Statement

In its announcement, Exotique Foods Inc stated that people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat ‘run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction’ if they consume the affected product. The company also confirmed that the recall was initiated based on a retail sample result supplied by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, underscoring that the issue was caught through routine allergen testing rather than any reported consumer harm.

The FDA posted the company’s announcement as a public service and does not endorse either the product or the company involved.
