# Major Recall Alert: Quesadilla de Queso Bread Recalled Due to Undeclared Milk
Consumers in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, take note – Panaderia Salvadorena Inc. has issued a significant recall of its "Quesadilla de Queso" bread due to the presence of **undeclared milk**. This recall is especially critical for individuals with milk allergies, as consuming the product could result in serious or even life-threatening allergic reactions. Here's what you need to know about this important safety notice.
## Why This Recall is Important
The recall was initiated after the **Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH)** discovered that this milk-containing product was distributed in packaging without properly disclosing the presence of milk. Although the ingredient list included sour cream and butter, milk was not explicitly noted, which poses a serious health risk for people allergic to milk.
**The Health Concern**:
For individuals allergic to milk, consuming this product could lead to severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, hives, or, in rare cases, anaphylaxis—a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention. Consumers without milk allergies are not at risk, but the recall is critical to avoid adverse reactions among vulnerable populations.
Thankfully, no illnesses or allergic reactions related to this product have been reported to date.
