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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling for milk, a common allergen, which fits the rubric criteria for a High severity score (3).

Plain-English summary

Maharaja Food Importers, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 350 to 400 cases of two frozen products: Parotta Family Pack (UPC: 8 70400 00084 5) and Small Parotta (UPC: 870400000012). The recall was initiated because the product labels list ghee as an ingredient but do not declare milk, which is a major food allergen.

The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Canada. The recall covers all lot codes for these specific products where the ingredient statement does not include a milk declaration.

Consumers who have purchased these products should check their labels for the absence of a milk declaration despite the presence of ghee. Individuals with a milk allergy should avoid consuming these products. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
