Surtidoras Bakery Recalls Blueberry Muffins Due to Undeclared Milk Allergen

Surtidoras Bakery Inc is recalling 44 packages of Blueberry Muffins distributed in Washington because the product contains milk but does not list it on the label.

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 voluntarily recalling approximately 44 packages of its Blueberry Muffin product. The muffins, which have a net weight of 1.74 lbs and are packaged in rigid plastic clam shell containers, were distributed in Washington state.

The recall was initiated because the product contains milk but fails to declare it on the packaging. While the ingredients statement lists whey, neither the ingredients list nor the "Contains" statement identifies milk as an allergen source. This omission poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies.

Consumers who purchased these muffins should check their products against the description provided and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of them immediately if they have milk allergies.
