Food products like pancake mixes, sausages, nutrition bars, and sorbet have been recalled in recent days by federal agencies after the items were found to contain food allergens not mentioned on the labels.
On Jan. 15, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Chicago-based Quaker Oats Company is pulling out 2-pound boxes of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix from the market for using “undeclared milk” as one of the ingredients. On Jan. 13, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said that Michigan-based UP Products, LLC is recalling roughly 400 pounds of sausage products “due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.” They contained soy, an allergen, which was not declared on the product labels.
