Helados Mexico Minis Variety Paletas recalled for undisclosed milk allergen
Tropicale Foods is recalling Helados Mexico Minis Variety Paletas because the product label lists cream as an ingredient but fails to disclose milk as the allergen source. Consumers with milk allergies may experience allergic reactions.
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: FDA Class II recall for allergen mislabeling of a common allergen (milk). The product label omits milk as the source of a cream ingredient despite milk being a mandatory disclosure allergen. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, making this a theoretical risk-of-harm situation that meets the score-3 criterion.
