The hazard: Undeclared milk

The product contains milk that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids milk, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

What the notice says: Undeclared peanut, tree nuts, soy, milk, sesame, and wheat allergens

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

Texas Pecan of Dallas TX is recalling 1 Lb and 8 oz products because it may contain an undeclared allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to( tree nuts, peanuts, almonds, brazils, cashews, filberts, macadamias, pistachios, pecans, pine nuts, walnuts, soy, dairy (milk), sesame and wheat), run the risk of serious or life threating allergic reaction if they consume these products. This company has been in business for over 40 years and no sickness or allergic reaction has ever been reported to us.

This product could have been bought at our retail location or thru our web site(www.texaspecanco.com). It it only the 1 lb and 8 oz bags with lot numbers found on the bottom left corner ranging from 23200-23265 and 24001-24079. All bags are a clear poly bag with our Texas Pecan label on them. There have not been any reports of related illness or allergic reactions to any of the product ever purchased at Texas Pecan.

The problem came about with a routine check from the Texas Department of state and Health Services. When they inspected the packaging machine they decided that cross contamination was possible as our labels do states tree nut but each tree nut was not named individually. Our packaging machine is cleaned properly however our written documentation did not clearly state that.

If the consumer has any of these products they should either throw away or return to Texas Pecan for a replacement or full refund. Texas Pecan can be contacted at 972-241-7878 M-F 8:30-5 CST.

What to do about Milk

Texas Pecan Company — The product contains milk that the packaging never declared. If nobody in your home avoids milk, there is no health reason to throw it away — though the refund still stands.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids milk, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  3. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  4. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: If the consumer has any of these products they should either throw away or return to Texas Pecan for a replacement or full refund.
