Silk Soymilk Vanilla Recalled for Misleading Outer Box Labeling

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a minor labeling error where the outer packaging misidentifies the product type, but the internal product is correctly labeled, posing a low risk of harm.

Plain-English summary

Danone is recalling Silk Soymilk Vanilla Bag-In-Box, a 2.5-gallon bag intended for use in dispensing machines at foodservice and convenience outlets. The recall is due to a labeling error on the outer box, which incorrectly indicates that the product is almond milk instead of soymilk. The product inside the box is correctly labeled as Silk Soymilk Vanilla Bag-In-Box.

The affected product was shipped to three locations of Dot Foods, Inc. in Arizona, California, and Indiana. The specific product is identified by Date Code 16 OCT 2019 51-4114.

Consumers and foodservice operators should check their inventory for this specific date code and packaging error. If the outer box states "almond milk" but the internal product is soymilk, the product should be removed from use and returned to the point of purchase or the distributor.
