Milk Presence and Issue: Milk was present in the product, but it was not labelled on the package; therefore, this is violating food labelling regulations, food product development and food manufacturing consultancy especially related to allergens.

Reason for recall:

Unidentified milk allergen, where further testing showed dark chocolate contained milk, and the milk was not called out as an ingredient on the product label. Many consumers assume dark chocolate is milk free, however some, not all, brands, such as Supremely Gourmet, may use milk in the manufacturing process on purpose, or due to contamination in the production process. The package did not warn of a milk allergen risk at the time which posed a risk to individuals with milk allergies.

Health Risks:

Undeclared milk in food items poses a serious health risk for individuals who are allergic to milk. Here are some specific health consequences:

Milk Allergy:

Individuals with a milk allergy may experience a milk allergic reaction with even small amounts of milk in the food. Symptoms of milk allergy may include:

Skin symptoms such as hives, itching, or swelling. [2]
Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or abdominal cramps.
Respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath.
Anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening situation that requires immediate attention, with symptoms such as throat swelling, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.

Cross-contamination :

Cross-contamination can occur during food production when non-dairy alternative products meet milk or dairy-containing ingredients in the same production environment. Although this is not generally intended, cross-contamination can be something food allergic individuals need to consider if the facility does not have protocols in place to minimize cross-contamination.
