Hickory Farms Chipotle Ranch Sauce; 9 oz. clear plastic pinch waist bottle

Woeber Mustard Manufacturing CO INC recalled Hickory Farms Chipotle Ranch Sauce; 9 oz. clear plastic pinch waist bottle 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 Apr 18, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Unlabeled milk allergen." 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 broad: the FDA record describes it as "United States including: ID, IL, NM, and UT," which places this among the wider-reach recalls on the site. Consumers across the affected area should check product on hand. The recalling firm is based in Springfield, OH. The recall covers 281796 of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported May 21, 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.
