Recalls based on the fact that a label wasn't done correctly always annoy me. Yes there may still be a threat for someone who isn't careful or logical when they select food but most often I've found these recalls have to do with an ingredient not on the label that it only makes sense for there to be some of in the product in question. In this case a chocolate drink mix that left out the "milk" on the ingredients -- it's a chocolate drink mix, what would you think it would have it?
Well, in this case the packaging claims it is non-dairy so not only is the fact they left out milk a problem for folks with allergies there is no reason why the average person would assume it had dairy in it given the label you'll see below. Makes me wonder what else is wrong on the packaging. What do you think, Sisters and Brothers?
