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) with no reported illnesses, which meets the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Eastland Food Corporation is recalling a single lot of Euro Custard Cake, packaged in plastic-wrapped cardboard containers (Net Wt. 7.20 oz.). The recall was initiated after the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets tested the product and detected the presence of milk, which was not declared on the label as an allergen.

The affected lot consists of 310 cases with Item Code 240304 and a Best Before date of 5/25/2017. These cases were distributed to retailers in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, and West Virginia.

To date, no adverse incidents have been reported due to this mislabeling. However, individuals with a milk allergy or severe sensitivity are at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product under the mistaken assumption that it does not contain milk. Consumers should check their pantries for this specific product and dispose of it if found.
