Milk Allergy Alert: Salento Organics

Salento Organics of West Palm Beach, Florida is recalling its 4 ounce packages of Dark Chocolate Pitaya Bites, Dark Chocolate Goldenberry Bites, Dark Chocolate Mango Bites, Dark Chocolate Banana Bites, Dark Chocolate Pineapple Bites and Dark Chocolate Peanut Bites because they may contain undeclared milk.

People who have allergies to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The recalled Salento Organics products were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders.

The products recalled are:

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the milk-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk.

Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes.

Production of the product has been suspended until FDA and the company are certain that the problem has been corrected.

Consumers who have purchased 4 ounce packages of Dark Chocolate Fruit and Peanut Bites, listed above are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
