Timeline

Reason for recall
1.- Undeclared allergen: Milk 2.- Unrecorded temperatures after thermal processes.
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.
