A New Jersey company is pulling its “churro bites” from store shelves due to undeclared milk in the product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced recently.
Camerican International, located in Paramus, New Jersey, is recalling 7.05 oz boxes of Aldi Brand Casa Mamita Churro Bites, filled with chocolate hazelnut cream, according to the June 3 recall.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products, the company cautioned in a press release.
The product was distributed in select Aldi retail stores in several states including Florida, North Carolina, Illinois and Georgia. The boxes recalled have a lot number of 01425.
No illnesses had been reported as of June 3 in connection with the issue, the company noted.
An internal investigation showed the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s production and packaging processes, which has subsequently been corrected.
Consumers are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions can contact the company at 201-587-0101, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Additional inquiries can be sent to fsqaincidents@camerican.com.
