Cases of refrigerated Pillsbury Biscuits Buttermilk 4pk. (6 - 4pk / case)

General Mills, INC. recalled Cases of refrigerated Pillsbury Biscuits Buttermilk 4pk. (6 - 4pk / case) in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 26, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared Milk ingredient on retail package. In error, individually wrapped packages of Pillsbury Biscuits Buttermilk were placed into Pillsbury Biscuit Flaky layers overwrap to make the 4pk. The individual packages of the product are labeled correctly however the overwrap is not the correct product." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Domestic: OH, NY, ME, MA, CT, NJ, MD, PA, and IA International: None." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in New Albany, IN. The recall covers 720 cases, 6 - 4pk / case of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 5, 2014), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
