Elegant Foods Cherry Sorbet Recalled for Undisclosed Milk Allergen

Elegant Foods Cherry Sorbet is being recalled because the label fails to identify whey protein concentrate in the stabilizer as containing milk, creating a risk for consumers with milk allergies.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: This is allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk) without reported illnesses, which per the FDA severity rubric is rated as High. The undisclosed milk allergen creates a serious risk for allergic consumers.
