## Why This Recall is Important
Food allergen labeling is crucial for the safety of consumers, particularly for those with life-threatening allergies. Milk is one of the most common allergens, and consuming products with undeclared milk can lead to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
The issue was uncovered during a routine inspection conducted by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, and while no reported illnesses have occurred yet, the risk to those with allergies remains significant.
If this product is in your pantry, especially if someone in your household suffers from a milk sensitivity, immediate action is required.
