Shearers Foods, LLC recalled Meijer DILL PICKLE FLAVORED CLASSIC CRUNCH POTATO CHIPS***UPC 719283594365***LOT CODE*** in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on May 29, 2018.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Milk allergen was not declared on the labeling of the 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 "Products were distributed in Michigan only to their distributor. However, products were eventually distributed to OH, MI, IN, IL, KY and WI." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Massillon, OH. The recall covers 2273 Cases with 11 bags (9.5 oz) per case of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 20, 2018), 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.
