What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric, as no specific illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Williams West & Witt's Products Company is recalling 1,088 lbs of Clam Base products, including Piazza Produce, Primarque, and Cook's Delight brands. The recall involves 16 oz cans and 50 lb tubs distributed in the United States, specifically in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York, and Wisconsin.
The recall was initiated because the ingredient label did not identify the source of the butter and cream ingredients as milk. Milk is a major allergen, and the failure to disclose this information poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies.
Consumers with a milk allergy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. Individuals should check their pantries for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice and stop using the products if they are present.
