The hazard: Undeclared milk

An undeclared allergen — milk — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk or soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Why it matters: The label does not declare milk, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What the company announced

Juniper Granola, LLC. of Rochester, NY is recalling CHOCOLATE CHERRY and PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP Junebars with printed batch label L1300 or L1301 because it may contain undeclared milk and soy. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk or soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The bars were distributed in New York State in the month of January 2026, through grocery retailers or via direct deliveries from website orders.

Impacted bars can be identified by looking on the back of the bar pouch, near the bottom. Chocolate Cherry and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Junebars stamped with the label L1300, L1300A, L1300B, or L1301A.

One customer reported an allergic reaction to milk, which is how Junebar became aware of the undeclared allergen and opened an investigation.

Investigation indicates the problem was caused by an oversight in the company's sourcing process that caused a box of non-vegan chocolate chips, which contain milk and soy, to be included in production. Typically Junebars are made with dairy free, soy free chips. This recall was initiated immediately after the allergen’s presence was discovered.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled Chocolate Cherry or Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Junebars are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 315-226-3339, or [email protected] .

What to do about Milk

Junebar — An undeclared allergen — milk — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids milk, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.
  3. Keep the pack if you want a refund, or photograph the label and the lot code and then bin it. If nobody in the house avoids milk, you may simply eat it — the recall is about disclosure, not spoilage.
  4. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased the recalled Chocolate Cherry or Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Junebars are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
