Understanding this recall
What happened
Marina Del Rey Foods is recalling Frankie's Organic Plant-Based Puffs Vegan Cheddar because testing found milk, which isn't declared on the label.
Why it matters
Milk is one of the major food allergens. People with a milk allergy can have reactions ranging from hives and stomach upset to anaphylaxis when milk isn't listed on the label. (Milk allergy is different from lactose intolerance.) People who avoid dairy because of an allergy often choose vegan-labeled foods, so undeclared milk in a vegan product is especially risky for them.
Who should pay attention
People with milk allergies, including shoppers at PCC Markets (WA), Earth Fare (FL, SC) and independent retailers.
Distribution in the FDA report: The product can be found at PCC Markets in WA and Earth Fare Stores in FL & SC, as well as select independent retailers in these regions. Frankie's Organic is working with 3 distribution centers that any remaining inventory is removed from distribution (GA, OR).
