# Major Recall Alert: Alexander's Fudge Cookies n' Cream Fudge Recalled Due to Undeclared Wheat
On October 4th, 2023, an important food safety recall was issued for Alexander’s Fudge brand **Cookies n’ Cream Fudge** in Canada. The recall was initiated because the product contains **undeclared wheat**, which poses a serious health risk to individuals with wheat allergies or gluten intolerance. Here's everything you need to know about this recall and how to stay safe.
