Recall Summary

San Diego Coffee, Tea and Spice recalled Pow Pow Powders: A standard of Quality in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Jun 29, 2021.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "FDA inspection found that various smoothie mixes sold to restaurants did not include ingredient list or allergen information (undeclared milk)" 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.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "CA only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Oceanside, CA. The recall covers 75 bags - all flavors of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 28, 2021), 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.
