Tipu's Chai Sweetened Masala Chai recall
Recalled by Tipu'S Chai · Polson, MT, United States
Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.
Why it was recalled
Product is recalled due to undeclared milk. Sweetened Masala Chai boxes contain five single serve sachet packets of Chai Tea Latte, which declares milk, but Sweetened Masala Chai boxes do not declare milk.
Undeclared allergen: Milk
For someone with a food allergy the label is the only protection. An undeclared allergen can trigger a severe reaction even in a trace amount, which is why most of these recalls are Class I. All undeclared allergens recalls.

Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to milk; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
