What happened

JBN Growtein Candy Bar Blitz protein powder was recalled because the label didn't clearly state that the product contains milk, even though milk-based ingredients (whey protein) are in it. This is a Class II recall, meaning there's potential for health problems but no serious injuries have been reported.

Who is at risk

People with milk allergies or those who avoid milk for dietary reasons are at risk, since the unlabeled milk content could trigger allergic reactions.

What to do

If you bought JBN Growtein Candy Bar Blitz in 6.17 lb or 3.1 lb bottles (UPC 655455020211 or 655455020464), stop using it if you have a milk allergy or sensitivity. Contact the manufacturer or your retailer for a refund, or dispose of the product safely.
