Reason for recall
The firm was notified that the product does not list MILK in the allergen Contains statement, although it is listed in the ingredient statement. They were alerted of this error by a consumer who reported a reaction consistent with a Milk allergy.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
