# Major Recall Alert: Lava Buns Recalled Due to Undeclared Milk Allergen
Attention consumers: Prime Food Processing LLC has issued a nationwide voluntary recall of certain **Prime Food Lava Buns** due to the presence of an undeclared milk allergen. This recall affects two dessert bun varieties that were distributed across multiple states in the U.S. If you or someone in your household has a milk allergy or sensitivity, this recall is critical for your safety.
## Why This Recall is Important
This recall has been initiated due to an omission in the allergen labeling. While the ingredient list mentions **unsalted butter**—a source of milk—the packaging does not include a required “Contains: Milk” statement in the allergen information. This labeling oversight could pose a **serious or life-threatening risk** for individuals with milk allergies.
Although no illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date, the issue highlights the importance of thorough label review processes. Prime Food identified this problem during an internal audit and promptly informed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company is taking swift action to ensure consumer safety by recalling affected products.
