Nature’s One of Lewis Center, Ohio is recalling PediaSmart Soy Vanilla Beverage Mix because milk, one of the major food allergens, is not listed on the “contains” label statement. Each lot is tested for milk allergen by independent third party laboratories before the product is put on the market. No milk allergen was detected in any lots of the finished product.
Nature’s One learned through a document review that milk or a milk derivative was added to the natural flavor used in the product. Even though no milk allergen was detected, labeling laws require milk to be listed in the “contains” statement on the label.
No illnesses have been reported to date. This recall is being issued out of an abundance of caution. The product was distributed nationwide and to Canada through online retailers and medical supply distributors. It was not sold in retail stores.
The recalled product is PediaSmart Soy Vanilla Beverage Mix packaged in 12.7 ounce (360 gram) canisters. The lot numbers that are recalled are PSV 7271 MI1 (Use by Sept 1, 2019), PSV 8078 MI1 (Use by March 1, 2020), PSV 8274 MI1 (Use by Oct 1, 2020), and PSV 9105 MI1 (Use by April 1, 2021).
Lot PSV 9105 MI1 (Use by April 1, 2021) with a corrected label is not part of this recall.
Nature’s One learned through a document review that milk or a milk derivative was added to the natural flavor used in the product.
