Petaluma, California – Amy’s Kitchen is initiating a voluntary Class I recall of Lot 60J0421 of the Vegan Organic Rice Mac & Cheeze due to the potential of having trace amounts of milk, which is not declared on the product label. The company is recalling this single lot out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of consumers who have an allergy or sensitivity to milk.  Such consumers should not eat Lot 60J0421 of the Vegan Organic Rice Mac & Cheeze to avoid the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.

Consumers should check their home freezers for the Vegan Organic Rice Mac & Cheeze with Lot Code 60J0421, and should not consume them. Please discard or return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

After receiving a test result from a third-party laboratory indicating one of the meals in the lot contained trace amounts of milk protein, Amy’s immediately contacted the FDA and is notifying all customers to discard any product on shelves or in distribution. In total, 15,626 cases of Vegan Organic Rice Mac & Cheeze are being recalled.
