Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

Estrella Food Products' Pizza Mini Turnovers contain milk (through an ingredient called casein in the cheese), but the packaging doesn't clearly list "milk" in the ingredients or allergen warning. This means people relying on the label to avoid milk wouldn't know the product contains it.

Who is at risk

People with milk allergies or those who avoid milk for dietary reasons are at risk of an allergic reaction if they consume this product.

What to do

If you have a milk allergy and purchased this product in Puerto Rico, do not eat it and discard it. Check your freezer for packages with this product name and manufacturer. If you have questions, contact your doctor or the FDA.
