How the Labeling Error Happened
A contract manufacturer accidentally left milk off both the ingredient list and the allergen “Contains” declaration. After receiving one confirmed allergic-reaction report, the company traced the mistake to a label mix-up on a single production lot and initiated this nationwide recall. Manufacturing and quality-control procedures have since been updated to prevent a repeat incident.
Why Undeclared Milk Is Dangerous
Milk ranks among the nine major U.S. food allergens. In people with a milk allergy, unintended exposure may cause hives, stomach cramps, vomiting, shortness of breath, or potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis. Immediate medical care is critical for severe reactions.
