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) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Freedom Snacks is recalling 50 bags of Classic Caramel Gourmet Popcorn, net weight 10 oz. The product is packaged in a flexible plastic bag and does not have a UPC. The specific lot code is 11242015, which represents a best-by date of November 24, 2015.

The recall was issued because the product contains undeclared milk. While the ingredients statement lists butter and the 'Contains' statement declares dairy, the recall notice identifies the issue as undeclared milk. This labeling discrepancy poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies.

The product was distributed only in Pierce and King County in Washington. Consumers who purchased this product should check their pantries for bags matching the description and lot code. If found, consumers should discard the product or return it to the place of purchase.
