H-E-B is voluntarily recalling four varieties of Hill Country Fare Juice Drinks because they contain milk, one of the major food allergens, that is not declared on the label. Anyone who is allergic to milk or who is lactose intolerant could have a serious reaction or illness if they drink these products. No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to the company to date.
The recalled products are sold in one gallon sizes. They include Hill Country Fare Pink Lemonade, Citrus Punch, Fruit Drink, and Grape Drink. They were sold at H-E-B stores in Texas and Mexico, and in Joe V’s and Mi Tienda stores. This recall does not affect anything sold at Central Market.
All of these Hill Country Fare juice drink products have been removed from store shelves. More details about the products: Pink Lemonade has UPC number 4122005174 and code date 8/1/2020.
