Our Kids With Food Allergies Foundation online community saves lives! Recently, one of our members posted asking about labeling requirements for a the Artic Zero frozen treats product containing whey that did not have "MILK" listed in clear English on the ingredient statement. We told her what the labeling laws required and how to contact the FDA. On July 6th, this product was voluntarily recalled by the company.
