Helados Mexico and La Michoacana Ice Cream Pops are being recalled because they may contain milk, one of the nine major food allergens, that is not declared on the product label as required. Anyone who is allergic to milk, as well as anyone who is lactose intolerant, could have a serious reaction if they eat these products. One consumer illness has been reported to the company to date in connection with the consumption of these products. The recalling firm is Tropicale Foods of Ontario, California.
These items were sold at the retail level nationwide. The issue is that although these products have cream in the ingredient list, the common name “milk” is not declared.
