WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of 365 Everyday Value-brand lightly salted organic popcorn because of mislabeling.
The FDA said Whole Foods Market of Austin, Texas, initiated the recall because the product might contain undeclared milk ingredients, thereby posing a health hazard for people allergic to dairy products.
The FDA said the recalled 365 Every Day Value organic popcorn was sold in Whole Foods Market retail stores in California, Arizona, Nevada, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, D.C,, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Oregon, New Jersey, New York and Washington.
The popcorn is sold in a blue and white 5-ounce bag with a picture of popcorn in a red and white container with UPC 9948240552. The recalled product's lot code is stamped on the front top right corner and reads "Sell By 10/28/08" or "Sell By 10/29/08".
Consumers can return the recalled popcorn for a refund or contact the company for further information at 512-542-0656.
