Nearly 150 cases of cream cheese sold under the Einstein Bros. Bagels brand have been voluntarily recalled after officials discovered the products may contain undeclared almonds, creating a potential life-threatening risk for individuals with allergies.

Wisconsin-based Schreiber Foods initiated the recall after identifying that its Honey Almond Cream Cheese Spread had been incorrectly labeled as plain cream cheese. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the labeling error could expose consumers with almond sensitivities to a dangerous allergic reaction.

The affected products were distributed to Einstein Bros. Bagels locations in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The recalled items are packaged in 6-ounce plastic cups bearing the Einstein label, with a “Best If Used By” date of July 21, 2026, and a specific lot code printed on the bottom.

Officials said the issue stemmed from a packaging mix-up in which the lid correctly identified the spread as Honey Almond, while the cup itself was labeled as plain. An internal review determined the problem was limited to a single batch and has since been corrected.

Consumers who have purchased the affected cream cheese are being urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported in connection with the recall at this time.
