Recent food recalls remind us to stay alert about the dangers of food allergens. Prime Food Processing LLC has recalled over 2,200 cases of their Lava Buns with Salted Egg Yolk and Green Tea Flavor because they contain undeclared milk. This poses a serious risk for those with milk allergies.
These products were sent to Asian grocery stores in several states, including Michigan, California, and New York. If you’re looking for the affected Lava Buns, here’s what to note: The Lava Bun with Salted Egg Yolk comes in a 24 oz pouch with UPC #97903705873, and the Green Tea Flavor version has UPC #97803705883. Both are linked to lot codes 25092-25318, expiring between July 2026 and March 2027.
Prime Food identified the labeling mistake during an internal review. Thankfully, no allergic reactions have been reported so far. If you’ve bought these Lava Buns, it’s best to return them to the store for a full refund. For questions, you can reach out to Prime Food Processing LLC at 718-963-2323, Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM EST.
Food allergies are a growing concern. According to the CDC, food allergies among children increased by 50% from 1997 to 2011. This trend highlights the importance of strict labeling practices, especially as more people become aware of their allergies. Keeping an eye on product recalls can help prevent serious reactions.
