Reason Behind the Junebar Allergy Alert

An internal investigation revealed that a case of non-vegan chocolate chips containing milk and soy was mistakenly introduced into production. Junebar ordinarily sources dairy-free, soy-free chips. After a consumer experienced an allergic reaction, Juniper Granola notified the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and issued this recall.
