The voluntary recall was initiated after it was discovered that the products containing milk were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the allergen milk. Subsequent investigation confirmed milk as a sub-ingredient of one of the ingredients in the bakery mixes. The omission in labeling was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s quality control processes.
Several allergic reactions have been reported in connection with this problem.
Consumers who have purchased Better Batter and #1 Gluten Free mixes listed above are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the manufacturer at 1-800-252-2220, Monday – Friday 8:00am – 4:30pm EDT.
