Plain-English summary

Unified Western Grocers is recalling Kinnikinnick brand bakery products, specifically the Gluten Free Original Homestyle Waffles, due to the presence of undeclared milk. The product packaging features logos indicating that the items are gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free, which is inaccurate regarding the milk content.

The recall involves 44 cases of the 210 g/7.4 oz packages (6 count per package, UPC 62013300198). The affected products were distributed in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. Specific lot codes include 2014AL15, 2014JN24, 2014MA07, and 2014JL29. The recall was expanded on January 23, 2014, to include all products produced prior to late December 2013, with best-before dates up to and including 2014AU10, 20140810, and 140810.

Consumers with these products should stop using them and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the recalling firm for instructions. Individuals with a milk allergy or sensitivity should avoid consuming these products.
