Allergy Alert on Undeclared Dairy in 11-Ounce Single Serve Silk Soymilk Chocolate Flavor in Plastic Bottles

Mount Crawford, Virginia (April 23, 2008) - WhiteWave Foods Company is voluntarily recalling 11-ounce plastic single serve bottles of Silk Soymilk Chocolate Flavor because it may contain undeclared milk protein. The individual bottles are printed with both a “use by” date of May 7, 2008 (printed as 05 07 08) and a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 2529360028. Consumers can find this information on the back of the individual bottle.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk protein run the risk of a health problem or illness if they consume this product. Some reactions have been reported.

This affected product was distributed nationwide and reached consumers through retail and foodservice outlets. WhiteWave’s sales team is working with distributors to actively recover any affected product remaining on store shelves.

I'm irate at this and how long its taken for this "voluntary" recall to happen. My guess is they knew the FDA was going to recall and they thought voluntary sounded better. The FDA hasn't released anything about it yet.

Did you by chance post this on the vegan forum?

Thanks for the reminder.

It has taken over a week for Silk to recall this item. They had the test results and numerous calls from customers who had reactions/lab tests.

We are done with Silk.
