Health Risks of Undeclared Milk

Milk is one of the eight major food allergens. Accidentally ingesting milk proteins can trigger hives, wheezing, digestive distress, or life-threatening anaphylaxis in sensitized individuals. Because milk is not listed on the label of the recalled Vegan Cheddar Puffs, allergic consumers are at heightened risk.

What to Do if You Have the Product

Do NOT eat the snack if the lot code or UPC matches.
Throw the product away, or return it to the store for a full refund.
Wash any containers or surfaces that touched the puffs to prevent cross-contact.
Contact Frankie’s Organic at 1-800-363-8209 (Mon–Fri, 9 a.m.–4 p.m. EST) with questions.
If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek medical care immediately.
