# Major Recall Alert: AHCC Recalled Due to Incorrect Label and Undeclared Milk Allergen
Attention Canadian consumers: Health Canada has issued a major recall for AHCC 500mg 60 capsules (NPN 80036494) due to a packaging error that could pose serious health risks. Affected lots may have an incorrect label that lists "AHCC 500mg 60 capsules NPN 80036494" but instead contain "Advanced Bone Protection 40mg 30 capsules NPN 80014819." Most concerning, these products may contain undeclared milk allergens, which could be life-threatening for individuals with a milk allergy or intolerance.
Consumers should take immediate action to ensure their safety. Here’s what you need to know about this critical recall.
## Why This Recall is Important
This recall carries significant safety implications, particularly for people with milk allergies. Undeclared allergens can lead to severe allergic reactions, including:
- **Hives or skin rash**
- **Swelling of the face, lips, or throat**
- **Difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis**
The presence of milk in mislabeled supplements creates a hidden danger, especially for individuals who rely on accurate product labeling to manage dietary sensitivities. In this case, the labeling issue may lead consumers to ingest a product they believe is safe but that could trigger potentially life-threatening reactions.
The recall was announced on **October 13, 2023**, and consumers are urged to act swiftly to avoid adverse health effects.
