Surtidoras Bakery Recalls Banana Muffins for Undeclared Milk Allergen

Surtidoras Bakery is recalling 104 packages of Banana Muffins sold in Washington because the ingredients and contains statements fail to declare milk, a major allergen.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "The ingredients statement declared wheat, soybean oil, eggs, soy flour, soybean oil, and WHEY. The ingredients statement does not declare Milk as a source of whey and the Contains statement does not declare Milk."

Plain-English summary

Surtidoras Bakery Inc is recalling 104 packages of Banana Muffins, net weight 1.74 lbs., packaged in rigid plastic clam shell containers. The product was distributed in Washington. The recall is due to a labeling error where the ingredients statement lists whey but does not declare milk as the source, and the 'CONTAINS' statement omits milk.

The product is identified by SELL BY dates of 03/19/19 and includes up to 3/26/19. The packages do not have a UPC code. The ingredients statement declares enriched wheat flour, soybean oil, whey, wheat gluten, eggs, soy flour, and whole eggs. The contains statement declares wheat, eggs, and soy.
