Nationwide recall declared
Undeclared milk protein discovered in
three Good Karma Food specialty items
Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin warns consumers today that Good Karma Food Technologies, Inc., Glendale, CA, is recalling three of its products due to the discovery of an undeclared milk protein found not listed on the food label. Georgians who have an allergy to milk could experience a serious allergic reaction if the product is consumed.
The products under nationwide recall are: Good Karma Organic Rice Cream Mudd Pie; Good Karma Organic Rice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip; and Good Karma Organic Rice Cream Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge. Packages with the ‘Best If Used by Date, July 27, 2007,” or earlier, should not be consumed, Irvin says.
The Mudd Pie product can be identified by a label that reads "Good Karma Organic Rice Cream Mudd Pie." This item comes in a pint, blue package with dark brown lid band and a banner that reads Mudd Pie. It has a UPC Code of 2946270102.
The Mint Chocolate Chip product can be identified by a label that reads "Good Karma Organic Rice Cream Mint Chocolate Chip." This item comes in a blue package with green lid band and a banner that reads Mint Chocolate Chip. It has a UPC Code of 2946270106.
The Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge product can be identified by a label that reads "Good Karma Organic Rice Cream Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge." This item comes in a blue package with a light brown lid band and a banner that reads Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge. It has a UPC Code of 2946270105.
“Consumers who have purchased these Good Karma products should return them to their place of purchase for a full-refund,” Irvin says. Officials say the Good Karma products reach consumers at natural food retail and mass market retail grocery stores.
The production of these products has been suspended until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Good Karma are certain that these products are back in compliance, and the problem has been corrected.
