Vegan Snack Recalled: Undeclared Milk Alert!
27 Sep
Summary
- Vegan snack has undeclared milk ingredient posing allergy risk.
- Smarter Snack's Vegan Protein Puff sold nationally and online.
- CFIA initiated recall after test results and a prior consumer complaint.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a critical alert concerning Smarter Snack's Vegan Protein Puff Chili & Lime flavored snack. Bags of the 50g product, sold across Canada and available online, have been found to contain an undeclared milk ingredient, posing a significant risk to consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities.
The CFIA strongly advises individuals allergic or sensitive to milk to immediately stop consuming the affected product. Consuming it could lead to a severe or life-threatening reaction. The agency also directed that these products should not be served, used, sold, or distributed.
This warning was prompted by CFIA's test results, indicating a potential food safety concern. A thorough investigation is currently underway by the agency, which could lead to further recalls. This situation follows a similar recall warning issued on September 5, stemming from an initial consumer complaint.
Currently, there have been no reported instances of adverse reactions linked to the consumption of these recalled vegan protein puffs. The CFIA continues to monitor the situation and ensure public safety regarding food products.
