Prospector Popcorn has recalled 140 bags of its Belgian Chocolate Toffee flavored popcorn after soy lecithin was found to be missing from the product’s ingredient and allergen declarations. The voluntary recall covers certain 3.5-ounce bags distributed in Connecticut and New York, with expiration dates running from August 5 through October 24, 2026.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Prospector Popcorn initiated the recall on April 28, 2026, and the agency classified it as a Class II recall on May 14. The FDA record identifies the action as recall number H-0779-2026 and lists its current status as completed, although no termination date is available.
Undeclared Soy Prompted the Recall
The affected product is Prospector Popcorn Belgian Chocolate Toffee flavored popcorn, sold in 3.5-ounce bags under UPC 850073852125. The FDA says 140 bags are covered by the recall, with expiration dates between August 5 and October 24, 2026.
According to reports, the popcorn contains a combination of chocolate, pretzels, toffee pieces and coarse sea salt. Its packaging identifies milk, wheat and tree nuts, specifically almonds, among the allergens associated with the product. The label also states that the popcorn was produced in a facility using shared equipment with gluten, nuts, dairy and soy. Soy itself, though, was not declared in the ingredient list or included in the product’s allergen statement.
According to the FDA recall record, the specific undeclared ingredient is soy lecithin. The agency lists that labeling omission as the reason for the recall. Prospector Popcorn, LLC, which is based at 137 Ethan Allen Highway in Ridgefield, Connecticut, initiated the action voluntarily rather than through a mandated recall. The affected bags were distributed only in Connecticut and New York, based on the distribution pattern provided in the federal record.
FDA Record Shows the Recall Has Been Completed
The FDA lists the recall under Event ID 98825. Prospector Popcorn first notified recipients by email, and no public press release was issued for the action. According to the agency, the recall is now marked as completed. The database does not provide a termination date, listing that field as unavailable.
The recall was initiated on April 28 and classified by the FDA on May 14, a little over two weeks later. Its official classification is Class II, while the product category is recorded as food. The federal entry names Prospector Popcorn, LLC as the recalling firm and gives Ridgefield, Connecticut, as its location. The entry also confirms the quantity involved as 140 individual 3.5-ounce bags.
No update history is listed for the products included in the event. The FDA database instead provides the original event information, including the product description, recall number, classification, code information, quantity and stated reason for the action. For packages that may still be checked against the recall record, the identifying expiration dates extend through October 24, 2026. The FDA record lists the recall itself as completed.
