Wawa Recalls Drinks for Undeclared Milk Allergen

Wawa has announced a recall impacting four of its 16-ounce beverages: Wawa Iced Tea Lemon, Wawa Iced Tea Diet Lemon, Wawa Diet Lemonade, and Wawa Fruit Punch. This recall is due to a potential undeclared milk allergen present in the drinks. The Pennsylvania-based company identified a temporary equipment issue that may have led to milk contamination.

The affected beverages were distributed to a limited number of stores across five states, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. At least 11 Wawa stores in the Philadelphia area received some of the recalled products. The company confirmed that the potentially contaminated drinks have been removed from shelves and discarded. No other Wawa beverages or stores in different states are part of this recall.

The Food and Drug Administration has alerted consumers that individuals with milk allergies could experience severe or life-threatening reactions if they consume these products. As of the announcement, no illnesses related to this recall have been reported. Wawa Iced Tea Lemon was the most widely distributed, found in 123 stores, followed by Fruit Punch in 53 stores.
