Due to the presence of “undeclared allergens,” a garlic bread product that was recalled has had its danger level reclassified by the US Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA has recently reclassified it as a Class II, which suggests a moderate level of health risk.
Exposure to allergens can lead to temporary or reversible health issues, but the likelihood of severe consequences is low.
According to Newsweek, Lidl US TRADING, based in Arlington, Virginia, initiated the recall on June 6th for their products.
Below, you will find specific details regarding the product.
The products were subsequently transported to various retail locations in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, and Washington D.C.
According to a spokesperson from Lidl US, the recall was initiated on a voluntary basis due to the presence of undeclared allergens in the product which resulted from the use of non-English ingredient labeling. However, Lidl US has confirmed that there have been no reported cases or complaints of any health-related issues associated with the product thus far.
There are three levels of recall classifications that you should know about. The first level is Class I, which indicates the highest risk possible. This level is used when there is a reasonable probability that the product’s use can result in adverse health effects.
A medium level of risk is indicated by Class II signals, while the lowest level of risk is denoted by Class III.
According to Food Allergy Research Education, there are nine types of food that are highly likely to cause an allergic reaction, although any food item could potentially cause an allergic reaction. Cow’s milk is the most commonly identified allergen, along with wheat, which can lead to various symptoms such as skin irritation, gastrointestinal problems, respiratory issues, and in rare cases, anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening condition, as reported by WebMD.
