What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves the mislabeling of a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

The affected products were shipped to Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

The recall was initiated after the Ohio Department of Agriculture conducted a visual inspection and notified the firm that milk was not listed in the ingredient statement. The product labels currently list sugar, coconut, cocoa, and natural coffee flavor, but omit the presence of milk.
