So basically you avoided using get_field()
inside of your hook. 🙂
I took another approach and removed the hook once it had been executed.
remove_filter( 'acf/load_field/name=mb_recipe', array( $this, 'load_recipe_options' ) );
Seems to have solved the trick for now. Still, which they could add a param to the hook arguments that would allow me to filter out what called the hook. 🙂
