Plain-English summary
Topnotch Foods Inc is voluntarily recalling approximately 2,000 lbs of its Natural Bread Crumbs product. The recall was initiated after a California Department of Public Health inspection identified undeclared milk (from whey) in the product. The affected items are 50 lb. and 10 lb. packages with item number 10021 and a code date of 4/4/19.
The product was distributed only in California. The undeclared milk is a significant concern for individuals with milk allergies or intolerances, as the label did not previously list milk as an ingredient. The correct ingredient list includes wheat, milk, and soy.
Consumers who purchased this product should check their pantries for the specific item number and code date. If found, they should discard the product or return it to the place of purchase. No illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
