Reason for recall
This recall has been initiated due to missing information about the presence of the milk allergen in the list of ingredients. It is written that the products contain butter, but the food source for this ingredient (milk) is not indicated.
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.
