The hazard: Undeclared allergen or ingredient

This is a labelling recall rather than a contamination one: something that must be declared is in the product and is not on the label.

What the notice says: Risk Statement: Exposure to meloxicam at doses exceeding the recommended maximum daily dose of 15mg/day, may result in a reasonable probability of serious life-threatening events such as blood clots, heart attack, and stroke.

Why it matters: An ingredient that U.S. law requires to be declared is present but missing from the label. People who avoid that ingredient cannot make a safe choice from the packaging.

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.
