What Triggered the Recall

According to the CFIA, the recall was triggered by the agency’s own test results. Those results showed that the jalapeno protein bites contain milk, an ingredient that does not appear in the declared ingredients or allergen information on the label.

Milk is one of the priority food allergens in Canada, and labels are required to declare it clearly. When it is missing, people who rely on the label to avoid milk have no way of knowing the product is unsafe for them. Reactions to a food allergen can range from hives and stomach upset to difficulty breathing and anaphylaxis, which needs emergency treatment.

No reactions linked to these products have been reported so far.

Who Should Be Concerned

The greatest risk is for anyone with a milk allergy or sensitivity, including parents and caregivers who buy snacks for children with allergies. Because the bites were distributed nationally and sold online, buyers in any province or territory could have purchased them. Shoppers who ordered the products online should check their order history and the packages they received.

People who are not allergic or sensitive to milk are not at the same risk, but the products are still subject to the recall and should not be sold or distributed.

Steps Consumers Should Take

The CFIA is asking people to act on the following guidance:

• Check whether you have any of the recalled products at home, at work or in a school or gym bag.
• Compare the size, UPC and lot code on the package to the list above.
• Do not consume the recalled products if you are allergic or sensitive to milk.
• Do not serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled products.
• Throw the products out, or return them to the location where they were purchased.

Anyone who has eaten the product and develops symptoms of an allergic reaction should seek medical help right away. For severe symptoms such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat, call emergency services.

Regulatory Response

The CFIA says it is conducting a food safety investigation, and that investigation may lead to the recall of other products. The agency is also verifying that industry is removing the recalled products from the marketplace.

Consumers can sign up for recall notifications by email through the CFIA, and can report a food safety or labelling concern through the agency’s online complaint process. Public enquiries can be made by telephone at 1-613-773-2342 or by email at information@inspection.gc.ca. Media enquiries go to 613-773-6600 or cfia.media.acia@inspection.gc.ca.

The notice is published under the Government of Canada recalls and safety alerts system, with the CFIA identification number 17616. Because the investigation is still open, further updates or additional products could be added, so it is worth checking the official recall page again in the coming days.

Protein snacks like these are often bought in bulk or by subscription, so more than one package could be sitting in a pantry or office drawer. If you are unsure whether a package matches the recalled codes, the safest choice for anyone with a milk allergy is to avoid eating it until you can confirm.
