Snack giant Mondelez Global has issued a voluntary recall for two varieties of Oreo Fudge Cremes product in the US, as a milk allergen was not declared in the ingredient list.
The recall is made for the Oreo Fudge Cremes product in Original and Mint varieties, which have also been recalled from the US territories such as Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Croix.
Mondelez claims to be taking the product recall out of an abundance of caution. It also added that the recall was based on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analysis carried out on the products.
It said: "This recall is limited exclusively to this Oreo Fudge Cremes product, Original and Mint varieties, sold in the U.S., including the US Territories of Puerto Rico, St. Croix and St. Thomas, and no other products are included in this recall."
It has advised consumers, with allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, could face seriuos or life-threatening allergic reaction on eating the recalled products.
Till date, the company received one report of an allergic reaction upon consumption of one of the recalled Oreo products.
Mondelez has asked consumers who have bought the recalled products not to consume and discard them.
Last week, Mondelez had to recall certain Mr. Christie’s Arrowroot Biscuits cookies in Canada for being off-taste. It advised consumers to contact a doctor should they fall sick after eating the cookies.
However, there has been no specific information released about the kind of sickness suspected to be caused by the consumption of by the arrowroot biscuits, along with its symptoms, by the agency.
