Tipu's Chai Sweetened Masala Chai Recalled for Undeclared Milk

Tipu's Chai is recalling Sweetened Masala Chai boxes because the packaging fails to declare milk, which is present in the single-serve sachets inside.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Tipu's Chai is recalling 60 retail box units of Sweetened Masala Chai, net weight 7.5 oz. per box. The affected product is identified by Lot Code 18093 and an Enjoy By Date of 10/3/19. The boxes were distributed in California.

The recall is due to undeclared milk. While the single-serve sachet packets of Chai Tea Latte inside the boxes correctly declare milk in their ingredients, the outer Sweetened Masala Chai box label does not declare milk. This labeling discrepancy poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities.

Consumers with this product should stop using it and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the recalling firm for instructions.
