Company Announcement
SELMA, NC – December 5, 2024 – Atkinson Milling Company is recalling a variety of Hushpuppies due to undeclared milk allergen (products are listed below). People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
On November 29, 2024, during an internal review of the label, the firm discovered that they did not have milk listed in the “ingredients” or “contains” sections. Upon this discovery, and out of an abundance of caution, the firm decided to report this labeling error to North Carolina Department of Agriculture and the Food & Drug Administration.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
