FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 5, 2014 - ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is notifying consumers that Lily Bloom’s Kitchen of Fridley, Minnesota, has issued an allergy alert for undeclared allergens in five flavors of Poparoons, a macaroon-type confection. The label did not declare milk as an ingredient.

State officials are not aware of any illnesses associated with these products, but people who have a sensitivity to milk should be aware of the inclusion of milk in the flavored coating of these products.

The Lily Bloom’s Kitchen Poparoon flavors that contained milk which was not listed on the label include lemon, key lime, strawberry, blueberry and chocolate dipped in a white chocolate coating. Lily Bloom’s Kitchen is voluntarily recalling the affected products which were distributed in Minnesota prior to May 3, 2014. Poparoons sold on or after May 3, 2014 have been properly labeled.

Consumers may discard the product or return it to the store where purchased.
