Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets tested the Euro Custard Cake an detected that the product contained milk. The label did not declare milk and list it as an allergen on the label. Eastland Food Corporation became aware of these results on June 21 when FDA visited it facility. Eastland Food Corporation performed an investigation into the matter and determine late on June 22 that a single lot (310 cases) of product was missing this information. To this point no adverse incidents have been reported due to the mislabeling. Health risk assessment, people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume the affected Euro Custard Cakes under the mistaken assumption that it does not contain 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.

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. 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.
