Bee International issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Milk in “Plastic Heart Tubes with Chocolate Lentils”
Bee International, Inc. of Chula Vista, CA is recalling its 1.7oz. Plastic
Heart Tubes with Chocolate Lentils because they may contain undeclared
milk protein. People who have allergies to milk may run the risk of serious
or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
The recalled “Chocolate Lentils” were distributed nationwide
in retail stores and through food distributors.
The product comes in a 1.7oz clear plastic tube marked with Best Before
April 2019 on the label and bearing the UPC 0-73563-00805-9. It is a Valentine
item consisting of chocolate lentils packed inside the clear plastic tube,
with a heart shaped topper as a lid.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the milk-containing
product was used during the packaging of the product. Subsequent investigation
indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s
production and packaging processes.
Consumers who have purchased 1.7oz. Plastic Heart Tubes with Chocolate
Lentils with Best Before April 2019 are urged to return them to the place
of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the
company at 1-800-421-6465, Monday-Friday from 7:30am-4:00pm, PST.
