Recall #F-0247-2022 · Initiated 2021-11-22

Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Trader Joe's is recalling 16 oz. bags of Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips because some bags may contain butter-flavored popcorn that wasn't listed on the label. This is a problem because the bags don't warn consumers about milk, which is in the butter.

Who is at risk

People with milk allergies or lactose intolerance should be concerned, as the undeclared milk could trigger allergic reactions or digestive issues.

What to do

If you purchased this product, check the bag to see if it was distributed to your state (DC, DE, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, or WI). If you have a milk allergy, do not eat it and return it to Trader Joe's for a refund. Contact Trader Joe's customer service if you have questions.
