Camerican International Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Milk in Aldi Brand Churro Bites

Camerican International of Paramus, N.J., is recalling 7.05 oz boxes of Aldi Brand Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream because they may contain undeclared milk. 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 recalled Casa Mamita Churro Bites Filled with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream were distributed in select Aldi retail stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

The product is packaged in a 7.05 oz cardboard box marked with a best if used by date of July 14 and lot number 01425.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall.

The recall was initiated after a consumer discovered that the milk-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes that has subsequently been corrected, said FDA.

Consumers who have purchased the product are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, said FDA. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-201-587-0101 Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. EST or email fsqaincidents@camerican.com.
