Pouches of 3.5-ounce Fresh Gourmet Tortilla Strips Santa Fe Style have been recalled because they may not actually contain tortilla strips.

Sugar Foods initiated the voluntary recall after receiving a report from a consumer on Nov. 19, who said the pouches actually contained crispy onions. In addition to being the wrong product, the crispy onions contain wheat, which is not listed on the label for the tortilla trips.

"People who have a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product," a notice on the Food and Drug Administration's website says.
