Recall #F-1131-2018 · Initiated 2018-03-26
Plain-language summary
by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
Maharaja Food Importers is recalling two frozen parotta products because the packaging lists ghee as an ingredient but fails to clearly state that the product contains milk. Ghee is typically made from milk, so the missing milk allergen warning is a labeling error.
Who is at risk
People with milk allergies or lactose intolerance should be concerned, as they could have an allergic reaction if they consume this product thinking it is milk-free.
What to do
