The impacted products were distributed at various retail and grocery store outlets in the United States.
The recall was initiated after the firm found out the issue through a wholesale customer complaint upon receipt of shipment misaligned with updated product specification. This was followed by a lab test to confirm the milk presence.
Individuals who are allergic or sensitive to milk may experience a serious or even life-threatening reaction if they consume the recalled products.
However, no illnesses have been reported to date.
The company is working with the FDA and is taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and quality of its products.
Consumers who have purchased the affected product and have a milk allergy are strongly advised not to consume it, and to either discard the product immediately or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
