Jardine Foods INC recalled Mi Queso, Su Queso (Item#50440) ; Label: in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Feb 20, 2014.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared wheat due to supplier's inadvertent use of a wheat product instead of whey in preparing the cheese premix for the recalling firm." 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 "TX, Canada." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Buda, TX. The recall covers 6,233 jars of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jul 9, 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.
