Why is Undeclared Milk a Serious Concern?
Food allergies are a significant public health issue. The FDA recognizes nine major allergens – eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soy, shellfish, sesame, tree nuts, and peanuts – responsible for the vast majority of serious allergic reactions. For individuals with a milk allergy or sensitivity, even trace amounts can trigger a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis. The company explained the issue arose from a temporary disruption in their label review process, emphasizing the importance of consistent quality control in food production.
“It’s easy to underestimate the impact of an undeclared allergen,” explains Dr. Emily Carter, a leading allergist. “Consumers rely on accurate labeling to make safe food choices. A mistake like this can have devastating consequences for someone with a severe allergy.”
What Should Consumers Do?
If you have purchased either of the recalled products and have a milk allergy or sensitivity, do not consume it. Return the uneaten product and its packaging to the place of purchase for a full refund. Prime Food Processing LLC is available to answer questions at 718-963-2323, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
