The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of donuts sold across the United States on Amazon.
The recalled sweet treat was manufactured and distributed in March to retailers and online through Amazon.com.
“The problem was discovered after one allergic reaction was reported in connection with the recalled product,” company officials said. “The individual has fully recovered.”
For the majority of consumers, eating donuts that contain undisclosed milk is unremarkable. However, those with a milk allergy may have a reaction, which raises the stakes of eating it.
“Consumer safety is The Better Bakehouse Snack Company’s #1 priority and the company maintains rigorous food safety and quality control standards,” company officials said in the FDA alert. “The Better Bakehouse Snack Company is working with the contract manufacturer and retailers to remove any remaining affected product from the marketplace.”
There are nine major food allergens that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all companies to identify in their products. In addition to milk, they include eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame.
The recall is applicable to mini-donuts packaged in a 7.05 ounce carton that contained five 1.41 ounce pouches.
The expiration date of the snack item is Sept. 15 and the lot code is 26078.
Federal officials urged consumers who purchased the recalled donuts to return them to the point of purchase with a receipt to obtain a refund.
“The contract manufacturer has identified the cause of the mislabeling issue and has taken corrective measures,” company officials added.
Each kit contains one 8.9-ounce metalized poly pillow pouch that company leaders state has a 25-year shelf life.
The recalled cereal was sold in Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
On Aug. 14, the FDA assigned the cereal a Class II recall incident label. The product was initially recalled on Aug. 3.
