Health Canada has posted a number of food recalls in the last month, ranging from chocolate containing undeclared allergens to gluten-free nuggets containing pieces of rubber.
More than five food products have been recalled in the last few weeks due to the presence of milk — specifically, the presence of milk in the absence of a warning.
Some of the food products that have been recalled recently because they failed to warn on the label that they had milk in them include chocolate treats, chocolate coffee beans, a protein powder that was chocolate flavoured and plant-based breakfast sandwiches, among others.
On Saturday, Cacao Almond Bark by Olivia & Leo Gourmet Treats and Chocolate Coffee Beans were both recalled due to undeclared milk.
Both were sold in Alberta and online, while the Chocolate Lab coffee beans were also sold in Ontario.
Saturday also saw brand plant-based breakfast sandwiches and burritos due to undeclared milk – sandwiches which were sold nationally. This recall was first posting on Dec. 16, but was updated Saturday to include three more sandwiches with labels that failed to warn consumers about the presence of milk.
The concern, according to Health Canada, is that not declaring the presence of milk on the label could lead to allergic reactions if a person who cannot tolerate milk consumes the product.
High Impact Plant Protein, chocolate flavour, , has also been recalled for undeclared milk as of Dec. 19. This protein powder is sold online and Health Canada’s recall was triggered by a recall of this product in another country.
Although there have been no recorded allergic reactions in connection with these products so far, undeclared egg has caused at least one reaction in a customer.
